it’s not really one and done, IMO.  there’s a [B]long[/B] list of things JAB doesn’t like or plan on doing.  The short list is his way or the highway.  Right or wrong and for forty years it’s worked really well.  Regardless of how well SU has done in some respects, JAB doesn’t make the program as attractive to any & all types of recruits/talent as other programs do. They are pluses & minuses to this philosophy.

D1 has gotten a lot more competitive over the years and if you want exclude all the players that are hard to manage, too short or not quick enough to play zone, there aren’t many leftover who still have skills to basketball. He hasn’t exactly embraced the philosophy of getting kids to the NBA as one of his responsibilities like other coaches (that’s not the same his kids getting drafted. how many NBA drafts has he attended in support of them? How many pro-days has SU hosted?).

As a result, they’re recruiting from a really small pool of talent and if a kid doesn’t adapt to the system, they don’t get any minutes and they’re gone.
