Message: [QUOTE="nychuskyfan, post: 4247419, member: 3456"] If we were getting exclusively top 25 recruits like Duke does, I’d agree with you. But 5th year RJ, 5th year Whaley and 4th year Tyrese are likely average or better outcomes than the 50-100 pool we’re fishing in. Put another way I don’t see Floyd, Clingan and Karaban being a materially better trio in say their junior seasons. I do think we were missing an alpha this year and also within this talent pool we can probably put together a more balanced team. But I don’t see the overall talent level taking a huge step forward. Also, the fact that we’re going down the line and explaining why 5 out of 6 top 75 players either haven’t made the leap or didn’t contribute at all makes my point - he’s gotta do better with what he has.
