The recruiting strategy is to build a program, not find a one-and-done quick fix to salvage one season and then he's gone the next year (see Anthony Randolph). I would gladly take one of those guys if we have supporting players around them. But the point is that the last recruiting class was ranked very well by recruiting services, and we have a top rated player coming in this year. Trent's recruiting philosophy should put a good team on the floor next year.

I call BS on that one. You do not build a program by recruiting poorly. You always recruit the best talent. This one and done nonsense is nothing but an excuse for pathetic results. How many kids are really one and done? Look at the NBA draft - it is not a majority of the players. TJ will have signed one player in 4 years that was ranked in the Top 50 of his class - ONE guy. He will have 2 that were in the Top 100 of his class. You are not going to win with that kind of recruiting.
