As good as Monson's recruits have been as of late, I think it's good to know none of them will be bolting after one year anytime soon. Meaning we will have senior-laden squads come Tourney time. If this one-and-done rule is indeed backfiring on the BC$ schools, then more power to them.

: Amid all of the pre-season hype of a usually
