I think he alluded to this but to restate...
James didn't get another opportunity beyond Yale until he built the program to a point where, valuing security, it made no sense to leave for one of those opportunities.
Sure he could've made more in short term but lot of tradeoffs.
The one exception was St Johns but the job wasn't offered to him.
JT III got georgetown, a step up forgetting his name and how that helped.
Robinson went to the PAC 10
Johnson went to Fairfield. Mistake. James has had those opportunities+
Now James has a lifetime contract of sorts. Makes good money. Lives in on campus housing
But at the end of the day he either didn't get the no brainer job and/or valued security.
be interesting if NIL affects his outlook. He alluded to that.
But so far he is pulling guys like wolf and aletan and getting Casey simmons.
So fine so far to stay near the top consistently w talent
