I still want the OAD studs with multi-year guys sprinkled in. Losing the elite players after one year was never the problem. It was the Keels/Stewards/Franks of the world that killed us.

SignUp Now!I’m fine not getting those Paolo/Bagley/Carter level players as long as our guys stay more than 2 years. I want continuity again in this program. Build it with borderline 5* guys who stay til their junior year and sprinkle in an elite guy and legit transfer every other year.
It’s a tough balance. But Duke would at least have the name recognition to land any kid in the 20-30 range unlike the rest of those 355 programs. Do agree that we’ve been blindsided by kids like Frank and Keels who had no business ditching us after one year.
I'm rooting for a blowout watched by 20 people
The classes of 2022-2024, inclusive, just don’t seem to have those Zion/Paolo/Tatum/Bagley/Carter level talents.
At least that will hopefully mean that having the top NBA freshmen will be less of a must for winning it all. Unless I'm missing someone, Davion Mitchell and Agbaji were the only two first-round picks from the previous two champions. Seems like "experienced fringe NBA talent" works just as well for the most part.

There’s about 355 programs in America trying the continuity strategy, so unless you think Scheyer is going to become a Pitino or Self level savant, I’ll keep taking our chances with the top 3 players
But only if it the wins are also kenpom wins.I find winning basketball games to be rewarding.
Sure, but there are teams that wins in the NBA, Euro League, Spanish league, etc. College basketball teams has to have more to offer than just wins.I find winning basketball games to be rewarding.
