I think you're focusing too much on Triche.  Triche's senior year shooting numbers [outside of the scoring column] were decidedly below his other seasons.  That sucked.  But by the postseason, when he dialed in, he and MCW were virtually unstoppable off of the bounce and carried us to the final four.  Remember how they abused the Indiana guards?  So my point was that we had a guy who was a four year guy [the premise of the OP] who was capable of dominating and helping the team make a deep run.

Substitute any other player that you like, and the point is still valid.  Gee... that CJ Fair was unstoppable against Michigan in the Final Four... I can't believe Syracuse is getting him back for his senior year...

I don't disagree about how Rak's career unfolded.  And obviously, the 2015 season probably was one of the worst teams we've fielded in more than two decades.  But we still managed to blow out top 10-ish teams in Notre Dame and Louisville.  And Rak was still posted an all american caliber season.  So while his developmental curve progression might not be similar to Hart's the point remains that he was a four year guy [premise of OP] who got better and was incredible later in his career.
