So he favors Kemba's and Bazz's moms over Jackson's and Oriakhi's dads. Sounds reasonable.

Building something special is great. But retaining something special is more greaterer. Nothing lasts forever, but UConn under Jim Calhoun was special. Looking forward to a similar path under Hurley.
The absolute, top tier HS player is pretty much a one and done these days. Having ONE player of that caliber every now and may not kill you, but trying to build your team around top 20 players is becoming a losing battle. Many of them really aren't 1&D players, but they (and their support groups) think they are the next Zion. Problem with the next Zion is, if you have three of them, none of them will be happy. If you have one with a decent supporting cast, when he's gone after that first year, you have a remaining team that may have been a great supporting cast for a superstar, but founders without the dominant force on the court.

You need a pair of national flag blue tinted glasses son. Unrealistically high expectations are the heart and soul of college basketball fandom!
