If we look back to the pre 1 & done era coaches like Rick Stansbury and Cal at Memphis got burned on guys who said they were going to college and backed out at the last minute for the draft.
It's a big risk for Kentucky to recruit someone and then find out in April that guy isn't coming. Many schools would back off a lot of guys beyond the obvious 1 & dones because you don't know who's gonna make a bad decision if you're top 20-30 guy.
It's gonna impact your whole recruiting strategy and have a bigger effect in the pool beyond the guys in the top 10 of a class. You don't know who's gonna make a bad decision or who's gonna jerk a Duke around
