You really think we could have used a tough 6'6", 220lb guy in his fifth year, who averaged 14pg, 5 rebounds and 3 assists at Tulane (sarcasm)? He may or may not be able to take out Persians with a ball of fire, but a better fit than a 6'1.5" 185 lb wet convertible PG. All hindsight & moot, point is would be nice to balance the roster with some physicality & toughness next round, and not entirely players that feel like skilled ballet dancers. James is just one example of many this past cycle. We are going to be really young and dainty next year.

Can you tell me of a team that flipped its roster almost entirely in one year and packaged 4 five stars along with 3 portal guys as the core to their team? This is new, and they went out and acquired the majority of the roster in one offseason. I haven't seen a roster overhaul like it in the portal era. Yes one of those freshman is unique. Most programs don't have the luxury of this strategy, and if anything would prefer Duke not setting a successful blueprint that only they can manufacture.
