The key is obviously how they develop within the system. Recent history shows that teams like Virginia, UNC and Villanova have won more NC's with their three and four year players than Duke and Kentucky have with their one and done.
All three of the teams you cite ended up with either a lottery pick or multiple first round picks in the following years nba draft. Yes, u can win wo one and dones, but in the end u need high level talent.
...damn he got game
Strange take, seeing as how they came to us with interest because of how they felt he would fit in our system.
I think he was making a general statement, not one specific to Isaiah
I think the two players we did get proves recruiting is getting back on track. Mid-major recruiting styles will leave us in the bottom half of the league in most years.
Add Woody and Kadary here
not sure kadary fits with the "low upside" part of the equation
you'd be surprised.
Not sure I would say we want to recruit like a mid major. But what you describe is pretty much how Mike Brey and Notre Dame recruit—and how we’ve been recruiting the past couple of cycles. Brey likes to “get old and stay old,” so you always have lots of experience on the roster with some higher level talent sprinkled in. Our problem is that we kept losing guys early to the draft—and earlier than we’d expected—and some of our players haven’t developed as quickly expected. ND had some injuries to their best guys and were more inexperienced the past couple of years, but I think they, along with us, will have a resurgence as we go forward.
Have you ever seen the dorms that hoop players live in? They are fantastic. We don't have anything that compares.
Not for nothing, but I’m in the “lock it up”camp. Just seems a bit creepy, and
LOL! salt in the wound...Frank is nowhere close to him in ball skills. He is close in athleticism though and is bigger than IJ.what could of been...Frank does remind me a lot of him though. IJ just seems to have been working on his midrange/outside game a bit lately. Old wounds...
