Seniors or freshmen?

We likely would never have a chance of picking up a one-and-done player, but just for the sake of discussion: is it better to have a very good player for one year or a pretty good player for four years? I think it is almost certain that coaching the four-year player would be a lot more rewarding to any coach who wants to do anything past recruiting. For the sake of the overall health of the program, I would think the four year player has to be better.

It would be interesting sometime to see how a direct match-up between a Kentucky-type school with five one-and-dones and a not-quite Kentucky with five not-quite-one-and-done seniors would turn out.
