I gotcha. But the point was made that we had to have consistent top 20 classes to do well and Uconn just won the NC with a #17 ranking in '11, not top 30 in '12 or '13.
I'm pretty sure CDT knows how important it is for UT to have a decent season or a better season than most would probably expect. The '15 and '16 recruits wil be watching as well. Most of these top recruits want to to be apart of winning programs or play for a coach who can assist them in development as player.
Really? Not even a glimpse of hope for these guys? How do you think they will do in SEC?
That's true about the class ranks but if u look deeper.....u conn only played eight in the championship and their big three was Boatright top 50, Napier (best player in college basketball IMO) top 100, deandre Daniels top 10, giffey (foreign player so not rated), Nolan 118, kromah transfer, amida 3 * not rated, and Samuels 118.
As u can see, even though their last two classes may not have been ranked that they were built on the backs of top 100 talent.
It's not that we don't have talent, it's just the absurd amount of coach and player turnover that occurred. New system, new coach, new team, you just can't reasonably expect this squad to gel to the extent that all of the talent would be most effectively utilized. Plus, we're as weak as we've ever been in the PG and posts positions in that 9 year span.
When I say "worst season," I mean along the lines of 15-15, not 4-26.
No clue how we'll do in the SEC. Anything can happen, but I'd think somewhere between 5th and 8th.
If u watched them ever play u would know that boatright, daniels,and Napier did all their heavy lifting...they had some decent role players and a thin bench due to early graduation.
Absolutely, but 3/8 top 100 players is hardly evidence of your theory, you would lead everyone to believe overwhelming majority must be top 100 and classes top 20.
Disagree, as I said at the time winning is what I find fun, whether it's Wisconsin style or LMU style.
