At Wake you need a mix of NBA talent and 4 year supporting casts. Our #1 team with Dino was an anomaly because two 50-ish ranked recruits both blew up into top 20 picks after their soph years, that doesn't happen often. Getting two years out of Aminu was a coup and I'm sure everyone on the staff felt the same way. More likely our future good teams will look like the 2005 #1 team, with one superstar and a bunch of supporting 4 year players. Or the JHo team that won the ACC... one superstar who just blew up later.
We need at least one bonafide star to ever be a top 4 ACC team. Devin has been our best freshman this year and I still think he is a 4 year supporting player on a top 4 team. CJ and Travis could have been good supporting players, they shouldn't be best players on any team. We need at least one early entrant candidate or one ACC POY candidate to be good consistently. We have to start bringing in at least 1 guy who has that potential every 2-3 years and the rest can be the type of guys we brought in in 2012.
ETA: We didn't come close to bringing that guy in 2011, 2012, or 2013. Shelton can maybe be that kind of guy and we still have another season to go before he gets here.
