OT - One and Done is for Losers

[Tio]

The current state of collegiate recruiting is a mess.

Coaches will always go for the blue-chip recruits. Part of a coach/program's resume is how many players have moved on to the NBA.

In most cases, the teams that lose the 1 and done players take a few years to recover. You look at programs like UCLA & North Carolina reeling last year as a result of recent attrition to the NBA.

The one exception I can think of is Calipari, who always seems to land the big recruits year and year out. But he does so at the expense of questionable ethics and morals. His past 2 collegiate stops have been put on probation by the NCAA for illegal activities during his tenure. Calipari has been able to bag these recruits by allying himself with William Wesley, clearly the most powerful man not in the direct employment of a team, shoe company, etc.
