Can we get a do-over?

Starling was BB America's #1 HS prospect. That same publication has an impeccable reputation ranking prospects and systems, and their body of work proves it since nearly every team with the top system makes the playoffs within 2 years.
So in Duncan's defense this isn't really a Starling issue or a system issue. This simply must be an organizational training & development one and it's hard to stomach.
