College Basketball Recruiting: 7 Players Guaranteed to Be One-and-Done

As things begin to die down in college basketball recruiting, the focus will soon turn to what these guys can bring to their teams when they get on campus.

Some will start from the first practice and look to carry their team all the way to the national championship.

However, for some players, they're only going to be around one year, putting more pressure on their teammates to help them bring home a national title.

Kentucky went through it this past season, and teams like UCLA, Baylor and Arizona are going to go through it this year.

Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague were those players for the Wildcats.

Here's a look at seven players that are guaranteed to be one-and-done players.

Nerlens Noel, Kentucky

Coming into the recruiting year this year, it wasn't known if Nerlens Noel was going to be a part of the 2012 or 2013 class.

Now that we know he'll be headed to Lexington for the 2012-13 season, there's no question that Noel will bring the tools to help Kentucky make a run at back-to-back national titles, something that hasn't been done since Florida did it in 2006-07.

Noel is the best shot blocker in his class and could average the same number of blocks (4.7) per game that Anthony Davis did. Dare I say, maybe more?

He'll add a little more weight when he gets on campus and will be either the first or second pick in the 2013 NBA draft, unless something freaky happens.

Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA

Shabazz Muhammad has a motor like I've never seen.

I literally think of him as the Energizer Bunny.

When it comes to the college game, I think Muhammad is the most ready out of any of the 2012 recruits to step in immediately and make an impact.

He'll likely be a shooting guard in the NBA, so there's still some development needed in his long-range game because NBA defenders will give him that shot if he doesn't shoot better from deep.

However, his slashing ability and mid-range games are on point, something that will help him succeed both in the college and pro games.

Kyle Anderson, UCLA

Kyle Anderson, in my opinion, has the highest basketball IQ in this year's class.

Although it will be hard to project this early where he'll play at UCLA, especially with Muhammad joining him, Anderson is one of those players that can succeed at any position he's put in. Well, with the exception of center.

Although not as big and athletic as LeBron James, Anderson has near the same skill set in that he can play one through three with a lot of success.

Anderson is one player, however, that seems like he'll only go to the NBA if it's the right move.

If there's any tinkering of a doubt, I believe he'll stay at UCLA another year.

Isaiah Austin, Baylor

There's not much need to jump for this prospect.

Standing at 7', Isaiah Austin is another player with great shot-blocking ability.

The one thing I love about him is his ability to shoot the mid-range jumper, although I don't think he'll take the Josh Smith approach and start shooting three-pointers.

Austin should help Baylor fans forget about what they lost from last year's team and help the Bears make another run at the Final Four.

After that, he's gone.

The NBA is always looking for good shot-blocking centers, and Austin is one of those players who should have no problem succeeding in the league.

Brandon Ashley, Arizona

Brandon Ashley has a lot of pure basketball ability from the power forward position.

At 6'8", I think he's more suited for small forward, but with a little more muscle added at college, he'll develop into a nice four.

The one thing you can say for Ashley is that he has a great set of hands. Whether it's passing or shooting, Ashley knows what to do when he has the ball.

I don't see him staying at Arizona for more than a year.

There won't be much to convince him to stay after one year, especially if millions of dollars are calling his name in the NBA.

Steven Adams, Pittsburgh

With an NBA-ready body already, there's still a little bit of rawness to Steven Adams' game.

Coming from New Zealand, Adams has only had one year to get used to American players after playing a year at Notre Dame Prep.

With a year at Pittsburgh under head coach Jamie Dixon, there's no doubt in my mind that Adams will be ready for the NBA after one year on campus.

As I stated in earlier slide, the NBA is constantly looking for big men who can play the position, instead of a bunch of fours trying to play the five.

If Adams can develop his game just a little bit more, he'll be a top 10 pick in the 2013 draft.

Cameron Ridley, Texas

Cameron Ridley simply owns the middle.

I don't see any reason why he won't do the same at Texas.

Always a treat to watch when he's on the court, especially with those baby hook shots, Ridley could find himself in Naismith Player of the Year conversation as a freshman.

Depending on the year he has at Texas, he could challenge Muhammad and Noel for the top pick in the draft next year.
