Apparently that has worked out very well for players like Yessoufou and Momcilovic. They are both going to get quite a bit more money than they would have gotten had they made a decision earlier.
There are desperate teams who need to fill holes in their rosters, and the pickings are slim.
Unfortunately, I suspect that more players are going to copy them in the future. They are going to hold off on announcing they are returning to college and where they will go to play until the last hour to withdraw. Any smart agent will recommend that.
While this is good for the player, it will make life very hard for the coaches. More of them will have to wait for a month or so to find out if they are going to land a key transfer.
If we thought the portal couldn't get any worse, we are finding out it can.
