I believe the logical answer would be view this from Rick Pitino’s reported perspective and start looking at recruiting pool sizes as having some proportional relationship to which shoeco-agency complex one is aligned with.
Hypothesis: reliance on shoeco-agent complex A with a larger pool to draw from than shoeco-agency complex B with a smaller pool to draw from increases the probability of signing sufficiently high ranked talent at all 5 positions.
Remember those buttons a few years back.
“That was easy.”
Especially so, I believe, since Rick indicated that he thought the NCAA viewed what is going on, whatever specifically he may have been referring to, as okay.
I infer therefore that it does not matter if you change shoeco-agency complexes, contractual relationships permitting.
I am frankly more concerned about what we do, if we get the players without changing shoeco-agency complexes and have to deal with the apparent current “approach” of the NCAA to seeding the Madness, and then have to deal with the officiating the last ten minutes appearing to evidence XTReme Asymmetry.
I was proud of Wisconsin making it to the Finals, without what Bo Ryan tactfully called rent-a-players, but would like to avoid KU and Coach Self having to experience a similar phenomenon, what ever may have actually triggered the appearance of the phenomenon, just because they happen to have a strange circle pattern on the belt lines of their uniforms, as Wisconsin did, too.
