80. "I don’t know that it’s the best recruiting strategy" In response to In response to 73 Mon Apr-01-19 05:00 PM by DJR
Was Duke’s one and done factory thing in full swing yet when they won it all in 2015?
I feel like it was just getting going, but they still had some veteran talent.
Seems like it’s hard to build any real continuity. Their bench sucked, and they had no shooting. Poorly constructed roster. But how do you fix that, given their recruiting strategy?
Same with Kentucky. They won one title in their one and done factory era and are always good off pure talent but it’s not like top 2 recruiting classes every single season are leading to top 2 teams every season.
I question if it’s the best strategy for their program and for most of their players. Only ones who “benefit” from it are the top couple players on the team. Everyone else gets forced out the door to make way for the next group, or is in danger of riding the bench.
What’s going to happen with Bolden and DeLaurier next year? These were big recruits and they should be solid upperclassmen players, but it seems they’ll be buried behind Duke’s top recruit bigs.
