But they are learning and as we bring in bench players, eventually we won't be playing freshmen. No...high three star, and mid level four star kids do not usually win games for you as freshmen. They sure as hell do as juniors and seniors. 5 star kids don't go play for .500 teams. We need to win games and get in the tournament again before we are back in play for those kids. The way to do that is to bring in good, solid players and let them develop and become an experienced team. That Wichita State's model. Marshall recognizes that in the one and done era, the Kentucky like teams are WAY too reliant on freshmen. Even then, our best teams were experienced teams of mostly 4 and some 3 star guys (think Ricky Moore, Taliek Brown, Tyler freaking Olander), supplemented by the occasional star. [/QUOTE]
