A handful of blue chip programs have been able to succeed with one-and-dones, like Kentucky.
Others rely on transfers, plus one-and-dones.
Iowa is very family oriented, recruiting great people and great students, and almost always the players stay four years, unless, that is, you're projected to go ridiculously high in the draft after two years of Iowa coaching, like Keegan.
People seem to love and crave the short-term 4 and 5 stars. Understandable, as this is a recruiting site. More stars is supposed to mean more success.
But programs like Purdue and Wisconsin and Michigan and MSU have in recent years been final four or final two, almost always relying on players who stay for several years, usually four years.
Should Iowa keep recruiting students and athletes, or just athletes? Is it selling out to rely mainly on transfers and one and dones?
