Right after Duke won it’s 5th National Championship, many labelled Duke as the newest school collegiate program to recruit one-and-done players to win. Bo Ryan made “rent-a-player” comments during the championship postgame, a Missouri senator set out a controversial tweet, Coach K is reportedly adapting to use one-and-done players and ending the one-and-done criticism, the Blue Devils have lost 8 first-year players and 6 in the last 5 years after one season, “Won and Done” is the slogan associated with this year’s Duke team, and more.
Mike Krzyzewski is now the 2nd coach to win an NCAA Championship with three one-and-done players, and this 2015 Duke team will always be compared to the 2012 Kentucky National Championship led by freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and Marquis Teague who left for the NBA after one season with the Wildcats.
