I say 4 out of 5.

Orton is in hot water with UK fans,but it doesnt matter now.

And.......what would be better, Cal recruiting 5* one and dones or recruiting 4* 2-3 year players? He is always going to get the 5*'s but will he ever win the tourney with freshmen?

They'll definitely get four. If Orton doesn't go he'll be one of the first picks in the second round.

5 will get drafted in the first round IMO, and I'd prefer the 5* players even if you lose them year after year. In most cases, talent trumps just about anything else.

Impressive by UK, but Florida's championship team had 3 of the first 9 selections in 2007 and UNC's title team had 4 of the first 14 in 2005 so it's not like they are doing something unheard of.

Amazing...that much talent, and not even a final four to show for it. ;) As for the debate...no one is going to turn down that freshman talent. But with a turnover like this, and if it continues, its a longshot a team can win a title with that many frosh. IMO, you need to hvae a good mix as far as talent, and experience/upperclassman. Thats pretty much been proven.

Calipari will get his title, sooner rather than later.

The freshman part is unheard of, having 5 first rounders is great but like I said, in the past 5 years Florida had 3 of the first 9 and UNC had 4 of the first 14. Both of those are just as impressive if not more impressive than Kentucky's 5 first rounders IMO.
