At some point Coach K decided not to recruit the one and done guys and they have suffered because of it. They have good players but no elite talents.

I seem to remember that Coach K told him he should go because he was going really high and couldnt risk it. Corey Maggette and some other guy that washed out were the ones I think pissed him off.

But they need a talent infusion. I know it is a stereotype but they really lack speed. One really good player could make them a final 4 team.
