I tend to agree. A lock down point/wing with some offense would be nice. Also

Get 1-2 one and done's, the rest of the freshmen should be in the 20-60 range

Catchings for one year versus Saunders for four?

We're only a fraction of the season in. Catchings & Keita were the only guys that looked unstoppable

Calipari when he was at UK was at one point getting like 5 of the top 10 FR...and they struggled unless it was AD or

100%. AJ is good for PR and his talent is of course huge but Xavion may be more

I agree on Brody, he's gotten almost zero burn and that won't change next year.

In other words what UCONN did to win b2b titles

No doubt the real secret sauce in college ball is finding guys that are good but not super interesting to NBA circles

AKA the Gonzaga and UConn plan.

Furphy is my poster child for a one-and-done that isn't worth it

Definitely.

Honestly Catchings will probably fit in this mold as well
