Id take 4 years lf Frank Mason over virtually any 1 year player. Gives you the best chance at sustained excellence. Id take 4 years of Graham over Josh Jackson. No hesitation. I don't see how its even close.
Of course you can't pick and choose but the flop rate of a OAD recruit and the fact you get them for one year are all huge detriments. OADs are highly overrated for COLLEGIATE value akin to dinosaur baseball thinking in terms of only looking at batting avg and rbis.

Embid progressed throughout the year to be a majorly impactful player, better than most, if not all of those guys you mentioned. I would take him (when healthy) over just about every one of those. Look, I get your point about one and done players. And I, too, am sick of it. It's hit and miss and it really is making college hoops worse, IMO. But I think you forgot just how good Embid was. I would also take the KU Josh Jackson over Graham.
