I mean how much does coaching play in a one and done recruit? Good coaching is important, but will 9 months at 1 school be the difference between being a top 5 pick and future all star, or a borderline 1st round pick and a average player? I don't think so, players make their biggest improvements once they leave school and get personal training all over the country. Callipari sends so many guys into the league because he gets the best players out of college. Anthony Davis would still be Anthony Davis if he went to UL Lafayette

I agree completely, hence my Trent Johnson couldn't screw him up reference.

Cal is great at managing so much young talent to create synergy and a complete team instead of a bunch of selfish players. It's just something so few coaches get the opportunity to manage anyways.

Well said.

Believe it was John Wooden who said "the greatest thing about a freshman is he becomes a sophomore". Different times, of course; and for some of that time period, freshman couldn't even play for the varsity. Still, the age of the player [18 to 20] and their improvement in strength, game awareness and overall abilities are consistent for the vast majority of players.
