Final Rivals 150

[3uconn]

It came out at some point today and two of our 2013 commits are on the list. Kentan Facey comes up first at #66 overall. Also Terrence Samuel came in at #118 overall. That's the highest I have ever seen him ranked.

On paper, not a particularly strong class, but I really like the kids, especially when they committed to a program in a bit of disarray with a somewhat uncertain future. Good for them - I hope they all stay 4 years and enjoy great success under the new master (KO)...

Rivals had Trey Burke at 142.

Emeka was around a #100 I believe

There are many flaws with recruit rankings, but the biggest is that rarely does it take into account work ethic or character. By all accounts we have guys who are oozing with these intangibles.

It's a mind shift for me to go through a list like this. "So, how did the competition do? Syracuse got that guy, Pitt #x ....., Georgetown #xx..etc". a habit for years & years, until I stop myself with "whoa, we're not playing those guys anymore". So, then I look for Memphis (5), Cinci (3),Temple (1), SMU (2) etc. Definitely, one of the 1st differences for me with us going into the new league. Hopefully, soon, I'll have to go through it all over again.

Also, with the projected returnees, and 6 of the top 20 (#s 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 19), nothing but a Championship should keep Squid from the most underachieving coach of all-time award. Regardless of what injuries they have next year.
