I agree with you in theory. Problem is that we are not going to get either the one & done or the high level GT unless there are voids on the roster & starters are needed.

We can't plan around having holes to fill, that has been the mode we have been in the last several seasons.

IMHO we need to have a roster full of starting caliber 2 to 4 year types, preferably where your 6 thru 8 players can step up if somebody leaves for any reason including graduation. It is pretty apparent that we are longer a preferred destination for the obvious one & done types. Even when we were flying high we would only get one once every several seasons at best. That simply can't be part of the plan other than as a sometimes bonus when it does happen.

Long term success for a program like ours needs to be built around above average talent (ie  better as upperclassmen than one & dones are as frosh) that stays and plays together for multiple seasons to learn and excel in our system.
