It really is as simple
As GC stated. Team Loaded kids just aren’t coming to Tech except for very unusual circumstances. Ty White and Tech actually had a good relationship at one time in the beginning, when Ty got into the AAU scene. But things turned shortly after that and it has just not improved at all. The original issue was Erick Green. White wanted James Johnson to direct Green to his program for the AAU season. James did not do so and Erik remained on the Winchester team coached by Erick’s father. James understandably wasn’t going to pull a player off an AAU team coached by the father. That’s how you lose a player who had committed to you.I would make that same decision that James made every time. But White got ticked and the incident started the fracture and things never recovered. And more recently it has been about it being the wrong shoe sponsor
