Kentucky and Duke have really warped the whole 'one and done' perception. They can put together super teams (even though most of those teams have a lot of upperclass talent that hangs around), but no one else really can. We get sooooo carried away with the quality of our own recruits here it's cringe city.

I mean look at Memphis. Honestly. Top recruiting class in the country and they have entire stretches where they *legitimately* look worse than we do. We need what we've always had in the past - and that's 3 year guys who are great athletes but a bit of a development project. I'm not knocking Cliff - he's exactly the kind of guy we should be going after. But people who think he's coming here and dumping 20 every night need to get their head checked.

Same thing this year. This was an already terrible team losing it's only real scorer and best player. As exciting as Akok, Bouknight and Gaffney are - they're not gonna run everyone off the court year-1. That's fantasy land.

People's expectations around here are totally shot.
