I have no opinion on Crean but in the current set up in college basketball no one needs a 3 or 4 year program to contend. Just hitch your star to a one (soon to be 2???) year player like Beasley and you are instant contenders. Not that there are tons of them out there but a good recruiting class can get you to the sweet 16 and further really quick. When you are matched up against seniors it is usually to the advantage of the young guys because seniors usually arent very good.
