My metaphor might have been strained. Constanza isn't ARod by any imagining.  No evidence of steroid use.  :p

I think we are on the same side of the argument.  I think we would love to have him, but I can't see many scenarios where he winds up here.

That said, we seem to have Moneyballed pretty well so far, and might be able to make a big money splash with a top high school recruit, who generally seem to be less expensive than transfers on a talent for talent basis.

Coaches and GMs are willing to pay more for lower variance, and having college footage for scouting and statistics is way more reliable for projections than high school scouting and stats.  Often, the kids are so good at the high school level compared to the other guys it is hard to tell how well it will translate.

It is much easier to tell if Goodrick (for instance) will continue to be a really good offensive rebounder in the ACC than to figure out if Constanza is going to be a (say) turnover machine at the next level.
