Message: [QUOTE="StunningSteve, post: 2476513, member: 7895"] Exactly. Spot on. Context is everything. There weren't a lot of large recruiting classes in the AAC this year. Wichita was the exception. They had an unusually large class this year, and beat out Butler for Montverde's Udeze and Sunrise's Moore. UConn beat out a lot of solid programs for Akinko, Kisunas, and Matthews. SMU is on their last year of sanctions. They did well with Hunt and his HS teammate. Don't forget their transfers, Isaiah Mike and McMurray. The AAC is landing a lot of talent on thr transfer market. A lot of people forget that Houston's class is bolstered by 2 Top 150 talents from Louisiana, via UMass. The AAC has a lot of young rosters and new coaches. These coaches took on transfers to stabilize the rosters, which had been depleted from attrition in earlier classes. So, recruiting ranking placement is somewhat skewed. It just made no sense for Dunleavy, Smith, and Gregory to go heavy on Freshmen. Its an exciting time. The talent level is definitely shooting up but the results on the court for many programs will outpace freshmen recruiting rankings until the rosters start supporting full freshmen classes. [/QUOTE]
