Message: [QUOTE="yungdowork, post: 4849210, member: 10371"] Seems to me like this is the new formula with how many talented, experienced players are hitting the portal every summer. A freshman with the talent and poise that Cam Spencer already has would be a top 10 recruit, and the majority of those guys are gone after 1 year. There's definitely something to be said for constructing a roster with some elite recruits (Castle), some guys you can develop (Samson, Ball, the other freshmen), and high quality transfers (Newton, Spencer) that gives you flexibility and the ability to win now, while still allowing you to develop talent and the culture surrounding the program. Schools like Kentucky and Duke have been having a pretty hard time retooling since they're losing so much talent to the NBA year after year. It's hard to have a balanced roster every year, it's hard to have time to institute a culture, etc. [/QUOTE]
