That is true, however, when coaches recruit high school kids, I think they recruit with a 4 year commitment in mind. After all, college is normally a 4 year journey.
Coaches WISH it was a four-year commitment. Thankfully, NCAA bylaws permit reconsideration each year. What if the kid you recruited for four years isn’t what you thought he/she could or should be? What if they decide to half-butt it in the classroom or the weight room? Should a Coach be just as bound to an s-a as you believe the s-a should be to the institution?
If bench is the hardship, the price is a year sitting out. What more could you reasonably ask?
Your ideas on this are completely off-base. And I’m being kind.
Does this kid fit the system ?
Does this kid fill a need?
Is this kid better than I currently have at that position?
Will this kid be as good or better than who I’m losing?
How soon can this kid contribute?
Those are questions coaches ask when recruiting a player. The only people they look 4 years down the line on would be project players.
