Point/Counterpoint: Are “One and Dones” worth it?

Recent trends in college basketball have started a debate among some of the VTM staff, and we’re here to make our case. Powerhouse schools like The University of Kentucky rely on talented five-star recruits for one year, while teams like Wichita State call upon experienced seniors to play. But which is the better approach?

Dylan: I’d rather have a three-star recruit for four years.

I think the answer to this question largely depends on who you are as a school. But I’ll pose that question later. Personally, I would rather have three star recruits for four years, as opposed to one-and-done players.
