Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2786645, member: 8501"] While I think the #'s in a class are important and I'm not a proponent of more than three highly ranked players in each class, I maybe wasn't clear that I meant more about the quality of those recruits. I truly think that bringing in the four or five mentioned earlier, all who seem to be great choices individually is a problem. It's less so because it's very likely not happening. And if it did the next class would be impacted not just in #'s but three top recruits are not coming in top of those five and on top of MW, CW, Ono. A rotation of 7-8 is seemingly Geno's preference and of course you need a roster of 11-13. I just don't see Jones, Horston, Griffin, MW, CW, Bueckers, Hailey Van Lith and then Fudd as guards and wings on the same roster. That's eight players for three positions. From what one sees and reads both Bueckers and Fudd will play meaningful minutes from day one, if not start right away as freshman. Those eight players could fit three teams all very nicely, so why would the younger ones put themselves in that position even with Geno, CD and the best coaches and coaching staff? I'm fine with Ono, Amihere, Boston and Brinks for bigs. So it's not only about #'s it's about quality of those #'s. Again, it also then means you sort of stop recruiting a Bent or Irwin, as they are ranked too low as HS players. When you do that you lose something, and even though they likely never become more than at best support players, they still play a valuable role. I'm sorry for seemingly always presenting the potential negatives or risks, but more and better is not always better. If that sounds like a Yogi, so be it! Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
