It's up to the individual programs to create environments that retain players. The league can only do so much. Unfortunately I don't think many players grow up wishing to play Dartmouth basketball. It's more likely they want to go to an Ivy school and they want to play D1 basketball.
Everyone wants to play high major basketball. If they are capable and if they get the chance to they're likely not sticking with the program. Especially if they can get the degree early and have eligibility.
Harvard and Amaker get this. They run their program like a high major within their budget.
Oh and winning.... That matters too. All these guys come from winning high school programs. Nobody plays to lose. So if you're a guy like Boudreaux who had multiple offers and to better basketball schools, lack of winning will eat at you.
