I can't opine on the basketball opportunity at WCU and of course there is some chance (conjecture) that Mitch Henderson told young Mr Collins, "I gotta be honest with you. I love having you here and on the roster, but I doubt you'll actually see the court during games."
But who faces more pressure over the next two years?
Danny Wolf who left a great academic institution in Yale, but is going to a premier athletic institution in Michigan with big crowds and Fox Sports/BTN coverage where the education is also top flight. . . .
*OR*
Vernon Collins who left a great academic institution in Princeton, but is going to Western Carolina?
If Danny Wolf never suits up in the NBA, at least he can say, "I gave it a shot."
And if Wolf makes it to the NBA, he will have justified his decision.
What's the upside scenario for Vernon Collins? Can he be a star at WCU? I don't know and that's where Henderson's assessment comes in. But I don't know if a guy who can't crack the line-up at Princeton is going to star for the Catamounts.
Don't forget that Princeton just said they're going to maintain a legacy preference. Someday, Collins will need to justify this decision to himself. . . and maybe his kids.
