Your complaint is about roster construction. Recruiting only superstars isn't necessarily the best option, though Calipari has clearly made it work. It's helpful to have some four year glue guys, and gym rats who maybe don't have NBA size that you know won't leave early, but taking on a freshman one and done isn't terribly different than say taking on a grad transfer one and done (which we need), save for maturity level.

Yes. I would take Dyshawn Pierre for 4 years over Jerrett Allen for one year any day. He is leaving Texas after a pedestrian 13/8 season with moderate assurances that he will be drafted. Of course right now we would kiss the earth for a one and done point guard. But in normal circumstances I would take Scoochie for 4 any day. Now, Chris Paul, that's a whole nother story.
