Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3921132, member: 199"] It is interesting and it has changed some of how a coach sees team building and recruiting. Usually coaches had to plan three four and five years in advance to make sure they were preparing for the players they were losing to graduation. And if they got the plan wrong, they were stuck for a few years until they could find the PG, or post, or whatever they had failed to get. Their only other solid 'other option' was to find a hidden gem at a Juco. Geno did that with Rita Williams, Pat did it with Bobbitt who saved her Parker years. Sometimes there might have been an interesting transfer, but they were rare and they sat out a year and most of them were trading down from a good team to a less good team. Finding a Brittany Hunter as a transfer was rare. Now, there is a flood of top10/top20 recruits and coaches can shop for any missing piece or just an upgrade. And a lot of coaches are suddenly finding they are looking to replace their own recruits that are leaving. Turning into the wild west - women are still staying in school longer than the men, but it is not dissimilar to a one and done mentatlity from a coaches standpoint. [/QUOTE]
