Liggins, Lamb, Jones, and Miller are all on NBA rosters. The only one I know of who isn't is Harrelson and it's pretty much a miracle he made one to begin with (he's at the very least overseas now).
Liggins was a Gillispie recruit
Lamb only stayed to sophomore year
Jones only stayed to sophomore year
Miller was a Gillispie recruit
So my point still stands. I said "these days" and if you're a junior/senior under Calipari (and recruited by him), you are pretty much mediocre to suck while continuing to get beat out by the 1 and 2 and dones that are vaulting through the program now.
Check out Kentucky's juniors and seniors last season...
Jon Hood
Jarrod Polson
Twany Beckham
Julius Mays
...hmm, yeah...

As far as the development comments, having watched some of those guys early in the season vs. late in the season I'd have to respectfully disagree.
I think the kids get much better not through coaching in less than a year than they do by simply playing much better competition and adjusting to that. I find it very hard to believe actual fundamental development by coaching takes place in less than 1 year with a 1 and done. They may pick up a thing or two, but not enough to call it any sort of "development". It truly takes at least 2 possibly 3 years to "develop" a kid from high school.

You said 2 or 3 done. Lamb and Jones both fall under that. Or are you just changing it to suit your argument now?
As far as Miller, Gillispie just about broke him. The ground Cal had to make up with him to get him to a point where he could make a NBA roster was pretty steep. But I'm guessing we're not going to count the fact that Cal had him for two whole seasons either.

One again, you said TWO or three done.

Like I said, call me when you see a Cal practice before you make that judgement.
