And Koscheck redshirted so he had a full year in a D1 room before he started.
Interestingly I don't think he ever won a state title in PA, but was able to AA 4 times and bring back a National Title.
2 years ago Spencer Lee pulled his redshirt half way through the year. He was less than a year away from an ACL tear and he dominated the national tournament pinning a Former NCAA champ in the semis.
I don't follow college basketball (except when a Big 5 team makes a run) but I'm betting underclassmen now are better than they were 15 years ago as well.
