Not really. You have to have a "program" that can navigate the "player for hire" section of the Portal. Most of which are on a 1yr deal.... which really just makes them mercenaries.

Yep. Maybe 1 in 100 of these kids gives a shite about the school.

You'd have to be a sucker to get emotionally invested in any of them.

Exactly. It’s minor league free agency (think G League not NBA).

There may be a couple of schools who can afford to keep throwing serious $$$ @ HS kids (look at this year’s top 5). But even that’s showing some cracks.
