Every school has donors. I suspect you are going to see really good teams get bought and put together in some weird places. Houston is just the start.
Also, while I don't love Florida, the weather is Tampa is pretty great.

Well, I haven’t heard many other names out there floating around the web about who else w may be recruiting or pursuing.
I know Ben and his assistants are out there doing their thing. To play in the Big you do need size and power under the basket and backup in that same area.
It will be interesting to see what names pop up.
One thing I do trust is Ben’s deep understanding of the game. Now the question will be if he can recruit and build (I use that term loosely) a program in this environment. You could bring in a no name freshmen and coach them up and have some other program come in and poach them.
A wise program will have contracts written up to prevent players from jumping ship at a drop of a hat (a pile of money.) Players are going to want significant money to even sign such agreements.
I am all for players getting some of the fruits of their labors, however they need to show some restraints and live up to the schools expectation as far as showing some loyalty. Fans are not going to put up with a bunch of young people wanting everything their way.
Under those circumstances what will wearing your schools sports logo mean?
I say that sitting in a local Wendy’s having lunch and drinking out of my Hawkeye black and gold flask with the Hawkeye logo.
