This is not how you build a long-term college program...

The transfer portal also adds to those that are in a one and done type scenario

I want a really great family atmosphere but I only want one year of it.

And I want to be developed...in just one year.

Well, he’s the number 1 hs recruit. And the number 1 ‘26 draft prospect. DUH

I think you missed the point. Nobody is faulting him for his desire and plan to

Corn Pop

he's a high school recruit who doesn't have his own PR team yet I guess

cwilke1

Jun 4, 7:35am

He's now twice moved across the nation to play on "HS" super teams in addition

Corn Pop

Jun 4, 7:49am

so what would you expect him to say when the media asks him for what he's

When you're 17 a year is a long time.

The coaches will be smart enough not to recruit a whole team of "one and dones"

JoMax

No, but it is how you get to the NBA fastest and maximize your potential earning

Roy Williams and Coach K would like a word…

If the #1 player in the nation wants to play for you (he's not coming anyway) for one one year you take him.

If you think about it…

If you are one of about a couple of programs who can regularly land a bunch of one and dones

It has coaches fleeing. At least one is different. Cal completely embraced the 1

That's not how UConn just won back-to-back titles

Indy Coug

Jun 4, 6:46am

their most dynamic player this season was a one-and-done Castle who indeed

cwilke1

Jun 4, 6:51am

Their roster was the 68th most experienced D1 team this year — so Castle is the exception to their rule

Indy Coug

Jun 4, 6:58am

68th most experienced doesn’t feel all that experienced

PHXSUNS31

Jun 4, 7:01am

It's more than nearly 300 other teams. You've gotta scale for the massive D1 membership.

Indy Coug

Jun 4, 7:03am

Ya I forget how many teams there are sometimes

PHXSUNS31

Jun 4, 7:08am

The better question might be where they ranked among the P6

puntersarepeople

Jun 4, 7:08am

25th. Only one of the bottom 65 in experience made the tourney last year — 16th seed Wagner

Indy Coug

Jun 4, 7:15am

There was only one single-digit seed in the bottom 165 in experience — Wazzu

Indy Coug

Jun 4, 7:20am

Yep. Calipari sent a lot of 1 & done kids to the NBA but

RockyBalboa

Jun 4, 7:02am

Tbf they didn’t struggle until the last 5 years or so

puntersarepeople

Jun 4, 7:14am

True.

Same with Purdue, Alabama, and NC state. Seniority and Continuity win in March.

What KY is doing is exactly what needs to be done in NIL basketball.

EDthoracotomy

Jun 4, 6:44am

But it's better than where we are. Maybe, if we ever become a school of one

Mostlyaccurate

Jun 4, 6:45am

College sports are for the most part one-and-done now

Blue Ridge

Jun 4, 6:56am

so....how often has "continuity" gotten us a win in the tournament? spoiler alert:

dryflyelk

Jun 4, 6:58am

There’s only a handful each year that are good enough to have this mentality

PHXSUNS31

Jun 4, 7:02am

If it gives us a deep run into the tourney, doesn’t matter

Heath Squashwell

Jun 4, 7:15am

GOOD, LENGTHY exposure in the tournament will bring good returns.

Q-grr

Jun 4, 7:23am

I agree but I’d also accept one run to the final four and nothing more

Heath Squashwell

Jun 4, 7:33am

BYU bball needs to sign 1 and dones every year to compete. This was a bad post.

No it's a good post - you can't build a program w/15 one-and-dones

Jun 4, 7:53am

Agreed, byufootballrocks is viewing it as Calipari UK style, think of it as Zags

palangi

I appreciate the Zags comparison.

The nice thing about BYU is if you get past the first round of the tourney

bluesloth

Jun 4, 8:06am

With the new coach hire, the direction of developing an NBA style program, that is exactly the way to build a long term
