[QUOTE="Mojoman, post: 1837870, member: 579291"] Agree it is a different context with the transfers and NIL, but in some ways it is the same as high level AAU that these kids and coaches all know very well. Kids move around and switch teams constantly and the management of player and handler/parent egos starts early on for the coaches. The College coaches recruiting know the kid's reputations of how they cooperate or not with coaches and teammates. I am sure UW and staff knew all about each of these players in AAU and the transfers with previous college teams before offering as to how they might fit together. Installing a working system in AAU (and now college) in a short time is a huge challenge. Might explain why teams look good one night and look like crap the next. There is a lot of that going on right now. Staff need to figure out how to get it done with this group. Every other team in America is dealing with same stuff to some degree. This is why they are getting paid Exec level salaries. [/QUOTE]
