Archie will recruit players that fit his mold,(character, skills, work ethics, coachable, etc) and if he stays could develop the next Duke, who by the way took years to get where they are. Wasn't overnight.

Duke will not continue to be Duke once coach K is gone....look no farther than UCLA after John Wooden left......or UConn after Calhoun left.
About 5-6 years ago a UConn team had so much talent it became highly counterproductive. One guy was a one-and-done, another was a two-and-done...both were NBA lottery picks after the season. And the team? it was awful...it wasn't a "team". An opposing coach remarked that UConn had two many great players. That group was incapable of playing like a team, even in the hands of one of the most successful coaches ever.

Probably, the best scenario for a Dayton is two or three very good players who have a good shot at the NBA, surrounded by another half dozen good players.....with the entire group staying until graduation....along with a very good coach, which we have.

We want/need a very good "team", consistently.....one that's an NCAA regular and succeeds when it gets there. In my opinion, that last point matters a great deal. We are well past the point where making the Dance is the goal. For that reason I think our NCAA performance this year is very important.

In our exhilarating, even giddy, break out of a few seasons ago the Flyers won three games. The following year dealing with adversity they won two games. Last season we were a one-and-done. That's not the trend we want.

While "being there" is/was a big deal....one we could only dream of during the BG era....we are now well past that point. Winning one game is an absolute "must", in my opinion,....winning at least two has got to be our over-riding goal. Getting to that second week is a very big deal for our program.

All in my opinion.
