Well I don't think you're being very consistent.  You said that the fun of college basketball was watching players develop.  Our best player in 2003 was a one and done who would have been a star anywhere.  Most of the key contributors were freshmen and sophmors.  I suppose Those Sophmores developed some, but so did UKs.  They even had a senior on that title team!  How can you say you enjoyed a 2003 that had to replace three starters and featured a star freshman that was all but a finished product?  Development!
 
That's cool that you loved Melo, so did I.  Why is that?  Because he went to Syracuse?  Because he won a national title?  Wouldn't you love a handful of OADs if they came here and did something similar?  Or is there a cutoff where a certain number of OADs becomes bad?  We have had a lot of new faces but that's OK because it's not above a designated threshold?  Is two and done good but OAD because Kentucky?  (BTW that freshman guard who was expected to stay for four years didn't really develop much during his time here.  You probably don't like him much)

Your entitled to your opinion, but forgive me if doesn't come off a little like sour grapes.  If next year we start hauling in more OADs and start reaching the final four at a slightly higher clip than once a decade I don't think you or anyone else will be lamenting the good o l' days.
