Yep, my Northwestern State squad was ravaged by early declarations following our last title. My starting PG and SF were seniors, but my starting C and PF (freshman and sophomore), top backup guard (freshman) and backup PF/C (sophomore) all declared early. Now I've got a walk on as my primary backup PF/C and we rely on a steaky sophomore combo guard, who was never expected to be a main rotation guy, for most of our offense. And of my current 4 freshmen I expect 3 to declare following this season.

I'm enjoying the added difficulty to be honest, but I think I'm going to look to target guys ranked in the 100-200 region each season to top out my classes, as they will hopefully be around 3-4 years and will probably end up the top player on a young squad.
