One and done relative

[SBU72]

Seeing the continued post about Dylan Ennis made me think of this question. If you were a coach would you take a chance on a brother of a kid who left early (and I mean before he was really ready to go) or would you pass? Say Taylor Ennis had a younger brother of about the same level of talent, would you take a chance that if he had a good first year he would leave early either on the urging of his parents or despite it? Or would you take a chance that like Jerian Grant, the player would come back even though he could get drafted like his brother? (yeah I know Jerian is actually older). I'm not judging OND's especially if you pretty much know ahead of time that the kid is OND and you can recruit accordingly, but when kids leave unexpectedly, it really hurts the program.

If it meant having a shot at the National Title, I'm bringing that kid in. Look at Kentucky.

I'd bring in the best talent I could get - that fits my system - and let the chips fall where they may regarding early departures. This is not to say I'd want a team full of OADs, but I'd be more than willing to gamble on the fringe OAD players.

What?!? This post isn't about light weight relatives who can't handle their liquor at family gatherings?

Tyler is such a different case, because I really don't believe Jb at any point thought he was a one and done, and until he actually declared.
