Nice article.  Like the last section on "Attention", very plausible.

"For instance, the next time you hear an AAU or high school coach is disgruntled with their player's decision, be wary."

Hmmmm.... this sounds too familiar.  (or at least it will by the end of today)

Wow - Never would have thought the transfer rate was this high, but per the article:

"Part of the NABC's statistic of the transfer rate which states that 40 percent of all signees transfer prior to their sophomore season."

40% of signees tansfer prior to their sophomore season.  I think this article illustrates why teams oversign..
