But that is contrary to what started this thread because an Arinze type player who produces right away won't stay more that 2 years tops.
Just think what is being asked, 12 guys on a roster, ideally 3 in each class with 1 each developing so you have a balance of high end talent to start and long term decent players who turn into good players by year 4/5. Now try to write the formula for that one.
Maybe. I've given up on guessing what kid might leave early (and I'm still amazed that Arinze was on an NBA roster this year). But as a general rule I think guys like Arinze and, to a lesser extent, Thompson are good choices for SU. Enough basketball skill to be productive winners in college, not enough athleticism or height to get an NBA team to roll the dice.
