I don't think you can make a Dabo comparison or reference without also recognizing how much coaching talent he lost. He lost some ability to coach up, and also with that, some ability to ID the right talent and culture fit. All his past players were also HS recruits.

I think the culture fit will be increasingly valuable as coaches/recruiters look for younger players who will buy in and want to stay in the face of short term financial opportunity or pressure. This is not just DART, but DART seems to have come to mean what I am saying.

If you look at the OG Miami, I think you will see/hear that was a culture buy-in. They felt FL kids, in particular South FL were undervalued and bought in for the home team "us against the world" mindset. They don't have that anymore, and have mistakenly misinterpreted it as "Swag at all costs" and taken to flailing or buying new talent to try and find the right formula again. Good or bad, culture really matters, perhaps more than ever.
