I'm not making any bold predictions.  They have a number of veterans who will need to take on bigger roles (w/ the exception of Timme, who was already one of their primary scorers) and an influx of talented newcomers, never know how all of those will blend together.  But if a school builds itself up to a level where Final 4/Championship Game appearances start to become regular occurrences, eventually they'll probably get a Natty.

I was just looking at this the other day.  I don't know exactly what happened, but everything changed in 2015.  Prior to that there had been a LONG period of 1st or 2nd round knockouts, w/ only a couple of Sweet 16s.  Starting w/ '15 and moving forward, Sweet 16 has been the floor, 2 Elite 8's and 2 Runner Ups.  That's a massive improvement in post season performance.  Few must've figured something out.  And now they are recruiting at a level that I NEVER thought would be possible there (which means they're going to be dealing w/ one and doners frequently, like everybody else had been for years).
