One and done
Many freshman this year are making a major impact in the NCAA, but ? as we know ? many of them will probably be one-and-done players. Which recruits from the 2008 year do you think will be one-and-done and which ones will have a chance to be a program-changer over the years?

The top nine prospects in the Rivals150 will likely have the opportunity to be first-round picks in the 2009 draft. And I say by the 2009 draft since it is almost certain that
John Riek will enter the draft this year as an age-eligible post-grad player. Here is a rundown on the other eight prospects:
Greg Monroe? The talent is there, but is the fire there? It is tough enough to put up numbers in Georgetown's system.
Demar DeRozan? Probably one of the safer bets to be one and done since it is a sure thing that he can be a big scorer in the NBA. The questions revolve around the other aspects of his game.
Jrue Holiday? No need to convince us that he is the best and most complete perimeter player in this class, but will he get the chance in a potentially loaded UCLA backcourt to to convince the NBA exectives?
B.J. Mullens? A 7-footer who can do the things Mullens can do should go extremely high in the draft ? even if he doesn't have a dominant freshman year.
