[QUOTE="mstranahan, post: 237246, member: 2802"] I really don't like the OAD phenomenon, but we're stuck with it. I miss the days when you knew the players on other ACC teams almost as well as you did those on your own team. These days, it's just different. There's no doubt Okafor, Jones & Winslow were the reason Duke won it all in '15, but in '14 (Parker) and '16 (Ingram), they had a pretty bare cupboard of upperclassmen and one stud. Both teams had good but not great years. UNC has had several highly touted recruits come in, underachieve expectations early and stay for 3 or 4 years (Barnes, McAdoo, Henson, Paige, Brice Johnson, etc). Given that the rules won't change soon, I'd love to see us build a solid base of kids who are in it for 3 - 4 years and then sprinkle in a super stud every couple of years. Sexton would be a great beginning, but I fear we're too late for him. If we whiff on big names in '17, we can still start building the foundational players (adding to Okogie, CMatt, etc) and go for the stud in '18 [/QUOTE]
