The thing is if you got the right 4 and 5 star players and good leaders and coaching staff that got them playing together you can be even better. So no, just going for the 3 stars thinking they will all work hard is idiotic. Find the players that have the mentality you need for your team and system and try to get the most talented of that subset if you can.


The thing is… there has to be the correct mix.

Because the elite dudes have been told they’re elite their whole life. They don’t all work as hard as the hungrier 3 stars work. Thats just human nature.

But Cignetti’s coaching was also elite. They executed to their abilities pretty much every single play.

It takes talent, coaching, and culture. Mark Cuban bought talent for IU. They also had an average age of 23.5 which was pretty crafty.

But heart will beat talent every time. Or at least most times

Worst part about NIL and Transfer are entitled shitheads who give up. Cignetti doesn’t mess around and found players who buy into his system.
