Message: [QUOTE="Delmar, post: 2230242, member: 3944"] Great post. With 1-and-done we are fretting over our not being competitive for players that will stay one year. Your post makes me think of Moten, who came in as such a surprise. He single-handedly beat Princeton in game 1 of the tourney as a Frosh, a game where every single pundit was picking Princeton as the upset. And then we had the satisfaction of knowing that we would get to watch him for 3 more years. Think about the 1975 final: NC State and UCLA - college basketball at its finest. How many players who would have been 1-and-dones were in that game? Thompson and Walton certainly, but many more. The college game has been significantly diminished for the reasons the OP enumerated very well. Imagine if we were looking at 3 more years of Battle, or 2 more years of Lydon. Lordy, that would be great. That's what we have lost. [/QUOTE]
