Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 5264306, member: 880"] Hence why I said top 50-100 guys - both Adams and Lewis are top 20- 30ish guys who both made headlines when they decommitted. And also why I said "traditional" power teams. I could've been more specific and said teams that are top ten types. Sure, there's going to be some non-McD AA type freshmen making impacts (hoping for Furphy), but I would expect to see more and more Nowell and Abraham situations when a guy in that middle to lower half of the top 100 recruit list tries to get time at a major, contending school. It's just not going to happen. I think Dan Hurley still values the idea of development and continuity, but I just think it's going to be rarer and rarer for teams like us. People on here at their usually Pitino trigger when he talked about not recruiting high school kids anymore, but I get it outside of your one or two and done types. Look at Demary. He was a top 60 recruit. If he had gone to us or another natty contending type team out of high school, he's probably on the bench for a year or two and then transferring out. Instead, he goes to Georgia, proves he can play, and then jumps to the top. [/QUOTE]
