Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 4489163, member: 57"] In today’s world, u cannot assume that freshmen will stay for very long. Ride the pine guys will leave for PT elsewhere. High level contributers, such as Mintz, will bail for the dollars at first opportunity. Today, teams have to be built for the now, with the thought that it is dangerous to assume any particular player will be here for more than a year or two, at least any particular player with starting caliber skills. in a sense we have been fortunate with Buddy and Joe being four year guys because Buddy was the coaches kid and Joe clearly has no NBA future, so we did have a couple of good four year players, but they are the exception. bottom line, you assemble a roster to win now and see what the future brings.
