Oddly enough my position is not based soley on post season success, yes I like to have deep March runs and an occasional a final 4 appearance but I would much rather root for a team with players I have had an opporunity to watch grow and develop.  1996 was a special year for many reasons but additionally so for those of us who saw Wallace develop from a typical freshman to an absolute beast.
 
Why I believe Ennis has been such a hot topic is because coming into this season those recruiting gurus on this board described him as being a not overlly athletic or explosive player but a steady, dependable one that would come in and run an efficient offense. He was the quintessential program type player that every team needs. Nothing I saw this year from him has made me feel that was not an accurate assessment of him. If the NBA cannot keep their hands off of this guy, what chance do we have to hang on to anyone that plays early and is any good at all?
 
Quite frankly I would rather have a program that perhaps may make an NIT trip or two if that's what it would take to keep a team together long enough to make a serious run at a national title every 3 or 4 years with players that you have become familiar with and can root for.  Kaleb Joesph will be the 4th starting point guard in 4 years and with the loss of Grant they will have two new starting forwards next year as well.
 
To much player turnover nowadays for me to maintain the same level of interest as I used to.
