a recruiting class of one and done players is not a good recruiting class. noah, horford, brewer class comes to mind as the best

glad you added that… so on that note I’m going to say Rashad Mcants, Raymond Felton, and Sean May… they played 3 years, won a national title, and were all-americans the same year (2005)

Best UCLA class I ever saw was 1998. They didnt live up to the hype, but damn was that a talented group.

Jerome Moiso-best of the group. Stayed two years then was drafted in the lottery. Never made it in the NBA after numerous stops and last I heard made a nice career in europe.

Jaron Rush-McDonald’s All American who was more hyped then either of his brothers(kareem, brandon). But left for the draft after two years of averaging double digits and went undrafted.

Dan Gadzuric-McDonalds All American who was considered a potential one and done prospect. Never really lived up to hype and he stayed all 4 years before being a second round pick and carving out a decent little nba career.

Ray Young-McDonalds All AMerican number 3 of the group. COnsidered best sg on the west coast. Played 4 years and just never really developed a jumper. Went undrafted.

Matt Barnes-Least heralded of the group but actually went on to have the most college and NBA success of the class.
