Will one-and-dones be the fall of the NCAA blue bloods?

With Kansas, Duke, NC, Syracuse and probably Kentucky falling in the tournament this year, and senior driven teams like Florida are dominating...Has the phenomenon that is the one-and-done be the fall of the NCAA powerhouses?

I think the Anthony Davis led Kentucky team might be have been the peak for this.

The new NBA commish will most likely have the rule changed to "two-and-done" soon enough. So having the best players in college basketball for 2 years instead of 1 is probably going to make a big difference.

Were you expecting all of them to win the whole thing?

I think it just shortens the window of time in which these teams can succeed before having to reload.

Coaches don't have time to groom these 5 star recruits to make deep runs in the tournament year after year which gives opportunities to other schools.

I think the power house teams will still remain as they will continue to attract the big name recruits. With that, that may not equal success in March.

So those teams are just going to stop recruiting elite athletes?

Has 1 likely one and done

NC


Has no one and dones

Kentucky


Just beat an undefeated one seed. They already have a championship thanks to one and dones.

quote:

Syracuse


Has 1 one and done and nobody thought he would be a one and done coming into the season. Carmelo Anthony kind of worked out for them.

quote:

Kansas


They would still be playing if one of their one and dones hadn't gotten hurt.

quote:

senior driven teams like Florida are dominating


For every senior driven team like Florida still in contention there's 5 senior driven teams sitting at home already

Are you trying to say these teams would have been better without Paker, Wiggins, Embiid, or Ennis? What a terrible thread.

Players should be allowed to go straight to the NBA but it they enroll in college they should need to wait 3 years, just like baseball.
