If youre honest with them about your plans for them, then you dont need to worry about him seeking elsewhere. If MY told Wessler hed be looking at floor time next season then it was a flat out lie.

The players who have left VT under MY all had a significant role at one point or another...Jalen Cone, John Ojiako, Naheim Alleyne, Tyrece Radford, PJ Horne. Bamisile would have had a significant role had he stayed.

This tells me that MY is straight up with them about what the team will look like in the following year and what their role might be. If Patrick Wessler (or anyone else) is the type of kid to need to transfer after being told the truth then theyre better off elsewhere for all parties involved.

You take someone like Wessler because Wessler developing elsewhere for 2 years and then hitting the portal could potentially put him out of VTs reach. Plus you have 2 years to help him learn the system while developing.

I personally wouldnt have taken him, but I can see why they did.
