There were only 2 really good teams.
Worst quality of college BB I have ever seen in my life, and continuing a slide that had already started
It is going to look a lot like AAU except for the program that can keep a core group together for a couple years, and then they have to get those kids to buy into a system, which is an entirely different issue. And of course that coach has to have an effective system they can teach besides rolling the balls out and preaching some usual coachspeak.
Getting all of that in line will be rare.
Similar to before only much worse as the previous 35-40% transfer rate will likely go up higher now.
The problem is the best P5 players want out after 1 or 2 years which was always true.
Then, a ton of P5 guys who think they are NBA material (and are not) will transfer to get showcased better in their mind. Of course coaches will tell them what they want to hear to get them which is not new either.
Not a good recipe for team play.
A lot of best midmajor players increasingly want to move up after 1 or 2 years to get into the mix for a pro career afterwards, or just be part of a P5 program experience.
Of course, then you have the kids who just are not happy, or were in over their head, or it is a crappy program.
Unless you get a ridiculous buttload of talent in a given year (like Kentucky and Duke has typically done) or keep a good amount of talent around for a couple seasons- most teams will look ragged as fuck and compete at fairly similar sloppy inconsistent level. Kind of like the BT this year. It gets mistaken for parity.
