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

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

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