It’s all complete bull shite and i agree with you.
Both major sports, the best teams have freshmen that make significant marks on day one.
Bama, Georgia, Clemson, OU, Ohio state in football.
Duke Kentucky Nova UNC in hoops.
You’ll occasionally have a “senior team” make a run. But realistically it ain’t the same anymore. Look at clowney that guy could have been a first round pick out of
HS. Look at Myles Garrett, same thing. These kids are getting scary good

High school programs have amped up their programs in the last 20 years. The S&C programs , in high school, are night and day from when I attended. Kids come out ready to play in college and to sit them is a waste.
The small state of SC has had numerous elite players that our flagship university has ignored or couldn't land. Ray Allen, Xavier McDaniel and Tyrone Corbin are just a few. Frank has continued but now we aren't just losing our best players to the bluebloods but to bama and ut.
In basketball the jimmy and joes are even more important than in football. I don't care how good of a game day coach Frank is because his talent on the court sucks. We have a 6'11" kostar that can't make a layup and has a vertical of 1". He hasn't made any improvement since his freshman year and that's because he has already reached his talent ability.
