Going forward Cuse would not trade places with us. They get to recruit into a conference where they play 8-10 ranked teams in a regular season. If Cincy or SMU sneaks into the top 25 we get 2 maybe 3 on the fringe. How can the most elite players want to come to us with who we play? No matter how rotten they are they will get players who will be featured in showcase games on ESPN against Duke, North Carolina, Virginia etc. We get Tulane with no one watching. We lost 2 major starters this year so i don't know what their excuse is for being bad this season, but bashing these programs makes us feel good for a second or two, but it's still OK to bash Duke and Kentucky because they skim the top 10 players every year.
