Does anyone...besides me...wish for college basketball as it was, probably a mere 7-8 years ago?  And do you wish that 3rd & 4th year players...legitimately recruited,  not as #1's, but recruited as being solid, smart players who fit the Geno mold...could work their way into significant minutes and contribute?  11 championships were won with a continuous mix of freshmen thru seniors, working their way into the lineup.   There were many roll players who worked into the starting lineup for their dedication and hard work.  Now, juniors, for example,  solid players,  are pushed down down a rung because of grad transfers and portals.

I really think that watching the progress and progression of all Geno's players for all 4 years was a testament to his coaching excellence,  his player development excellence,  and his coach-player relationship excellence, and that was a treat to watch.

I embraced #12, after 100 off years,  but enjoyed the first 11 better.

BUT, you gotta do what you gotta do!
