let's remember - Matthew Hurt has made it clear he plans or expects to be a 1-and-done. So, if we're speculating about the impact of Pitino recruiting Matthew, let's be realistic about what that means. Most likely one year of Hurt before he goes pro.
Sure, it could be a fun year, but after that, what? does one year of Hurt transform the program - or does it become a band-aid of sorts, covering up any issues with the program until you rip off the band-aid after that one year.
If Pitino does land Hurt, he had better make the most of it - like a real run in the NCAA's. Otherwise, I'm not sure one year of Hurt really makes a long-term difference.
