Which college basketball player would you rather have

a) 5 star recruit, leads the nation in scoring, leaves after his freshman year.

b) 3 star player, doesnt get many minutes as a freshman, starts a lot of his soph year, 2nd team all conference as a jr, and an all conference player as a sr.

b)

work ethic baby!

I would take (A) right now because these are guys that a few years back would be in the NBA already so the premier college freshman are as capable now as the 3 star guys are few years down the road.

I can't think of many Juniors or Seniors as talented as Beasley, because if they were that talented they would already be in the NBA. If a team is struggling, it is good to have a player that can take over a game.

this is a no brainer

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Who wouldn't want a Carmelo Anthony? Oh and didn't they win the championship?

you'd have to replace him the following season though. but...thats not necessarily a bad problem to have.

I'd take A. Good publicity get more recruits. Plus, fun to watch

all but one national title winner since 79 has had an AA.

you def want the 3 star recruit...why have a 5 star guy who odds are wont win you a national championship but just is selling seats? good for the AD but it doesnt help the team that much in the long run
