We don't have that kind of experience, but frankly - we should still be a lot, lot better given what's here. Because I mean we can moan about recruiting all we want - but the truth is it's actually been pretty good. Like I'm looking at some kind of comparable teams/mid range P5's, good mid-majors..
Here's Xavier's last four year cycle (including next year):
Scruggs - 33
Marshall - 57
Gooden - 78
Jones - 105
Harden - 135
Gates - 140
Ekeyler - 141
Walker - 155
Ridder - 173
Jones - 198
Kennedy - 205
Jones - N/A
Look at West Virginia:
Myers - 7
Hunter - 14
Ahmad - 66
Harris - 56
McCabe - 106
Culver - 108
Doomes - 140
Konate - 156
Bender - 208
Knapper - 212
Bolden - 240
Allen - 246
Harler - 260
West - N/A
Gordon - N/A
Look at Gonzaga
Collins - 30
Norvell - 103
Kispert - 104
Petrusev - 109
Tillie - 123
Wade - 132
Hachimura - 148
Larsen - 163
Foster - 271
Beach - N/A
These are two top-10 teams now. And like UConnStats says - we out recruit Wichita if we're looking at rankings.
Again - I feel like there's a lot of talent here. And i'm optimistic with the last three games that MAYBE we're turning the corner. But the gap between Ollie and the pack and the conferences impact on our ability to get talent hasn't been THAT substantial yet. The gap between the results Ollie's gotten from similar talent pools couldn't provide a greater contrast...
