Maybe not a dumpster fire, but...

I'll take Top 10 recruits for 500.

Taylor alone generated more career NCAA points than our entire recruiting class of 2010 combined. Ditto for Ruth, Stieber, and Dake. #1 P4P recruits sometimes flame out, but landing a superstar who can make the finals 4 times is pure gold.

We like to tout Dan Dennis as a model of success, but he only scored ~30 career NCAA points because he didn't make the finals until his senior year.

I recall the points system was tweaked in the last decade or so. IIRC the new NCAA tourney points system rewards making the finals more than the previous system. Interesting that a couple of champs can beat 10 AAs. That discussion could make an interesting debate. Do we more highly reward champions or depth?
