Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5354504, member: 1268"] No, it's not impossible, it is logistical & strategic. You're still not seeing it are you? You're so attached to the freshman concept, that you can't evaluate this stuff objectively. This is not 2005 when you could have a down year or two to rebuild - it was accepted and you HAD to live off home grown products. You can pull together a NC caliber roster every friggin year by using the portal right. The fact that you think Silas didn't put himself in a better situation tells me you care less about winning and more about developing NBA products. College hoops is not an NBA factory first, it's a commitment to w.i.n.n.i.n.g. Everything else is secondary & byproduct. Please become a Marquette fan for gods sake, or Duke. You'll get lot's of home grown freshmen and/or NBA products there. My god man. Catch up with the times dude. Who cares what it "used" to be? Here lies your issue, constantly living in the past when the world is changing. There were also players in bad programs back then that were stuck and never had the chance. Now a kid like Reed has a get out of jail card to go reach his potential in a real program. Does that even register? [/QUOTE]
