    If you can't surround the one and dones with the right players ... it's not worth recruiting said players.

    Yes, it ultimately comes back to Romar.

    A lot of the guys that have left early aren't really good enough to leave early. But if they get paid then they get paid.

    Too much rock to blast through, Tommy. And not worth the effort.

    You clearly missed the post that I made earlier in the week that showed over 70% of the starters for the Sweet 16 teams being juniors and seniors.

    You can say it is FS all you want ... but the stats are the stats.

    Oregon had the same percentage of upperclassmen starters in their last game as did UW

    Backcourt is key in the tournament. Oklahoma had SR, SR, JR, scoring 61 points today. Oregon had SO, SO, FR, scoring 23. Maybe, just maybe, @Tequilla's point has some validity.

    That upperclassmen are generally better than freshman? Crazy point he's making.

    Let's employ the strategy of telling the best recruits to go elsewhere because they will only make the program worse. If you have a vertical over 30 inches, fuck you. McDonald's AA, fuck you. Fringe five/four star, fuck you.

    We'll keep importing guys from Chino Hills Indiana JC and Belgium instead.

    It's a poor draft year which in large part is why Murray and Chriss are likely assured of being first round picks ...

    I could go do another study of what percentage of 1st rounders actually make it to have successful NBA careers ... just because you are a 1st rounder doesn't mean you are guaranteed to have a lengthy career.

    My point is really simple ... just because you can leave early and get drafted to the NBA doesn't mean that you are ready to play in the NBA. It's great that you can get your first contract ... but if you really want to get paid in the NBA (particularly with the current CBA) it's all about getting paid as much as possible for your second contract. If you are spending the balance of your first contract riding the bus between the end of the bench at the NBA level and the D League, you're not maxing out your potential for your second contract.

    But then again, most people are shortsighted like that.
