I think the concept of player development is not like it was 10 years ago, because you either
show up with an NIL deal then leave for the pros, or transfer out looking for more PT or NIL.
Nobody is going to want to sit and develop.  Will Patterson was an excellent option to develop
into a player, especially with the height he has, but he bolted as quickly as he could, and who
knows what is going to happen with him.  And I didn't go looking.  Red brought in 4 guys to 
help and keep the team competitive as he maybe gets SU back to recruiting and getting talent,
cuz they've sure come up short on that over the last few years.  You can keep feeding Donnie 
and Choppa, but if they do well enough, they're gone.  You're not going to develop a roster 
unless you are not a P5 program, and even then, you're best guys get poached.  Maybe you can
build a roster of 1-2 highly ranked recruits and some mids, expecting the stars to leave, hopefully
develop the others, and pull in 1-2 transfers.  But you cannot replace much/most of the roster on a 
yearly basis.  You'll have no continuity.
