[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 295193"] There really is no such thing as a given 'one and done' during recruiting. Even the best 5* athletes out there sometimes take time to develop. And even then, if they aren't a lock for a certain draft pick, they'll give it another year. 14 college freshmen got drafted into the NBA last year, so roughly equivalent to 50% of 5* players if you want to look at it that way. (They probably weren't all 5* recruits, but I'm not going to go research that.) Not sure how many 4* basketball recruits there are - a couple hundred? Anyway, my point is that the sample size is ultimately so small, that my personal opinion is you should never stop recruiting someone just because they might be so good that they leave after 1 year. Unless its an attitude issue - that they are already so arrogant/confident/cocky that they want to leave after 1 year and are more in it for them than for the team. But if you bring in say a good 4* player, he blows up his first year and can get drafted so he leaves, it kind of is what it is. That will not be good for continuity, but I don't think Georgia Tech is good enough to run into that problem every year. AND, whether you like it or not, players getting drafted feeds more future recruits your way. [/QUOTE]
