There are really only 2 or 3 teams capable of recruiting the one and dones. I don't think it hurts basketball, because it is allowing the smaller guys to compete every year. Basically, it's spreading the wealth of 5 and 4-star players amongst other programs.

How exactly? Kentucky will recruit 7 5*s to play for their team next year. If players were required to stay longer they'd only be able to offer maybe 2 5*s which would allow other schools to potentially get the other 5 5*s?

Literally the opposite is true.
One-and-Dones only commit to those 2 or 3 teams because they know while they could start anywhere in the country with enough work, at those programs, the turn over is immediate and the starting jobs are automatic.
If one-and-done caliber players had to stay put for more than a semester, elite recruits would still commit to the blue bloods, but a good deal more would look at the other programs and forge their own trail.
