While disappointing, I do personally love it when the teams with non-blue chip recruits are the ones that make noise during March Madness. I also think that UCLA basketball success is actually insulated a bit from the potential future in which all of the real blue chip recruits end up going to the G-League (or any other parallel), as Cronin has proven capable of building high level teams with 3/4 star recruits. If anything, the end of the one and done system will expose mediocre coaches such as Calipari and Miller. In the end, the G-League will likely only be snagging the absolute top 5 (and some 4) star recruits, like the #1 PG in the nation. No matter what, they can't afford to drop 300k on every player and it's telling that it took someone of Nix's background to even get that much.
