re: Will Wade sounds off on potential return, transfer portal, current state of college basket

I agree with him on that point that you don’t have teams with 4 and 5 year players anymore. It’s year to year for various reasons.

I wish it was like it used to be in terms of kids sticking around and staying in school but that’s not reality And no, people don’t want to wait 4 years to try and build a good team.

That’s not the world we live in either

I never said it was. Culture building isn’t a long term thing and we have 2 coaches who’ve proven that. Look at what Brian Kelly’s done- basically completely rebuilt the football team from the ground up in a year. Does he talk about ignoring culture?

Look at what Jay Johnson’s done. Pretty much turned over our entire pitching staff in a year and he’s a culture guy too.

The fact that Will Wade thinks you either get to A.) wait 4 years to build a culture, or B.) completely ignore culture, is probably why he got hammered every year in the round of 32 and sent home by coaches who actually have that level of attention to detail. His take is embarrassing and makes him sound like an idiot
