Lute Olsen has had enough of this silliness and refuses to recruit "one and done" talent...
A good chunk of this year's NBA draft did bolt after just one year...
Lute sets his foot down...
So why won't the rest of the NCAA top tier programs follow his example?
Do they really need that extra buck in all the hype surrounding a star player giving one year before bolting? Way too many jerks showing up to play for a college team, only to bolt for the NBA or Europe after one year. ... more -

USD burst a bubble and rolls past Gonzaga and St. Marys to get into March Madness
No one saw this coming...
Given the committee won't find a way to screw over St. Mary's, the WCC could have 3 team representation in the tourney...
How cool would that be...
(We know how much the committee likes to screw over teams by selecting way too many SEC and ACC teams though...)
As long as St. Mary's doesn't get shafted, 3 teams is quite impressive for the WCC... No one saw this coming... ... more -
