All things considered equal in terms of your supporting cast already in place(key players expected to leave, young freshman expected to improve, guys graduating), your team is a solid top 10 program in the country, you have 1 scholarship left, would you rather give it to a guy who is very good say a top 30 player who will be a big contributor for 2-3 years, or a top 5 stud who's one and done?

Personally I keep going back and forth. I know in a perfect world you would have a mixture, but that is very very difficult to do. The programs with 2-3 year guys you have experience, in most cases more maturity, a better family atmosphere throughout the program, and as weird as it sounds you seem to get a little more invested in the  players as you get to see them develop and mature. The one and done guy is maybe that elite talent who can put you on his back and carry you in the tournament, but puts pressure on the program to refill that position and may or may not affect your APR rating if they decide not to bother with class their final semester.

In other words, to give names and faces to the question, for Syracuse would you rather have a Tyler Roberson/Jermaine Lawrence type (apologies if either of them are legit one and done guys), or Noah Vonleh?
