not going to take the time to read through every thread, and generally agree it's time, but has anyone mentioned the current state of the sport with the one and done, two and done, etc. as being a hugely signficiant factor in the current state and demise of the program?

It would seem to be the biggest contributor to the demise and is compounded by the staffs recent lack of recruiting ability to plug in the gaps to address this new and modern dilemma.  Its a non stop revolving wheel, it's always been that way but over a 3-4 year cycle giving players enough time to grow and improve and bring greater team success; but now that cycle is so shortened and has hurt the entire college game, us most acutely.

And based on the lack of NBA success of the guys who left it apparentely hasn't helped them to the degree they probably thought it would had they stayed.  We know its certainly hurt us and with an old timer at the helm its evident the cliche' adapt or die rings true in that it's really unfair to expect a wholesale change in a guy after 44 years.  So it's going to be up to the higher ups to make some tough decisions at the seasons end.

Tough circumstance all the way around and it all contributes to and encapsulates my own lack and declining interest in the game of college basketball in general going on several years now.
