This year will be a big learning curve and we will see if he figures it out or not

The previous vision wasn't leading to deep tourney runs either so it's worth the attempt

One and done teams are notorious for not advancing far in the tourney

Kentucky is the real one and done factory and hasn't reached sweet 16 since 2019

BYU has just two 1 and done players. It isn't like this is a team full of them. BYU is also 10-3 on

ASU is a potential tourney team.

The problem is that our lack of talent means we are starting both of them.

I don’t think Stanton is a 1 and done. Neither is Burgess. Really, it’s AJ and

Burgess and Bahr are important. Rueckert (smr disagrees) is a good LDS prospect.
