Right I never understand that thinking. last year: “We want to be the team that gets Ayo to and Kofi to the nba! Recruits will love it. This is great for us!” no, it’s not. Last season was great for us.
We are not at the level where people leaving is viewed as a good thing. That’s like 5 programs. Duke can afford to cycle through 1-and-dones and assistant coaches (who are typically stepping up to p1 head coaching gigs).
There is no way to spin this being “good” for the program. 3 more years of deep tourney appearances and being ranked all year? Sure, sucks to see them go but we’ve at least got this thing going. But the meltdown is over the fact that we can’t ever seem to get things established before it starts to stall. And, when it rains, it pours for us it seems.
