Agreed.

With kids leaving early , the situation gets complicated unless you have the Duke and Kansas and Kentucky and UNC, that keep getting top 25 players every year to restock.

Maybe the key for schools other than the above is "smart recruiting" where you try to project players who will likely stay a few years or who are not all one and done players.

I think either on the BY or in ESPN, it mentioned Baylor as a school that has had success with lesser heralded players.

Hurley seems to have identified some gems or late developing players.

Recruiting players with prior injuries has upside and downside. Bouk had an injury which may have caused him to be overlooked or not as focused on when in high school by other schools. Gilbert had prior    shoulder injuries that hindered his progress while at UConn.

That's why coaches and assistants get paid what they get paid. To screen potential and have the personality traits to close the deal.
