Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 4627185, member: 6979"] nowadays ncaa teams are really between a rock and a hard place...thats why the final four was no blue bloods basically, imo you cant build slow anymore, really...not without suffering a lot...plus even if you try that...the players could just blow it up for you by leaving early- you basically can only plan for next month! but a good team takes years to put together, historically...i think thats why the big name coaches all left recently you cant build quickly very easily, either...i think kentucky hasnt made a final four in like 9 or 10 years or something...and they get every player they want basically. duke has had more success with the one and dones...but not really as much as they should given their priviledge, imo cant build quick if you are not a top tier blueblood...cant build quick unless you are heavy in NIL and the portal the landscape has shifted tectonically even teams like villanova and uva that have been able to build slow and do it with 4 year players are a bit down from where they were its like threading a needle now thats why i think - all things considered - bringing in a huge class of freshman that are program players - 4 year guys makes a lot of sense...even though its not the overnight success plan --- that face it doesnt exist unless you can get anyone you want looking back should still use a lot of portal - but its a very fine line in putting all that together seems the portal is really the way to go in this era, though but even if you kill it with that ...you are looking a whole new team the following season...its a hamster wheel for coaches - especailly if you play a gimmick defense that takes multiple seasons to learn **cough cough ** 23 zone JBs and good coaches advantage over the field was how they accumulated program familiarity from year to year...the new rules eliminate that possibility form even happening...thats why the sport is collapsing imo [/QUOTE]
