According to Andy Katz, Self's Mcd roster is a bad recipe

[Hugginsfan]

"But if you look deeper at the Bruins' roster this season (and last season) -- or Florida's or Georgetown's roster, for that matter -- you'll see that raking in all the McDonald's All-American talent isn't a recipe for a Final Four."  Andy Katz ESPN

Notice he said ALLL the talent,,not just one player..

Conversely, an article written in 2001 says:

 "A team that doesn't have at least one McDonald's All-American is not making it to championship Monday. There hasn't been a title game without at least one McDonald's pick on each side since the 1980s. That is not good news for Iowa State."
