Not aimed at you. It’s the general lust for elite athletes or even guys who can jump into the draft after a few years. A very good player who is fundamentally sound but maybe can get a wrist and not an elbow over the rim is good enough. Drummond is an elite athlete who stayed a year and did zip to advance the program. Obviously an elite athlete who is also a really good basketball player is great if they actually stick around long enough to make the program better.
Cam's lack of hops could keep him in college for 2 years. Could be a good thing for the program.
In general, the "freak" athletes aren't going to basketball. Too much skill is involved. Football and Track & Field are more likely to get those guys.
