I'm going to just go ahead and help you guys out with some of the players Martin and the Vols are going to sign, and yes, there will be some gnashing of teeth about the "star" level of some recruits in the future.
Martin runs a specific system of offense and defense. You can debate the merits of the system he runs, but as long as he is the head coach he is going to run mainly man to man defense, and mostly motion offense.
Generally speaking, Martin is going to look at defense first for a good number of recruits. This is going to upset a few people because defense doesn't get you the star rankings. Martin can't simply go out and sign the highest rated players and force them into his system, because that doesn't work.
There were 2 starters on this years team (Maymon & MacRae), that weren't Martin recruits and didn't "fit" his system, and Martin did an excellent job of adjusting in order to work those 2 into the system. I think it will be a while, for better or worse, before you see Martin put a ball stopper on the floor like MacRae. This isn't an insult to MacRae, it's his game, and when it is on, he is a devastating offensive player, but when it is off, he kills the offense in the half court, and then kills the defense on the other end. I also don't think you are going to see a reincarnation of the bash brothers anytime soon. Playing 2 non shooting players like Maymon and Stokes at the same time is difficult to facilitate in the motion offense. Martin went to his 3 out 2 in look some, and I will tell you now, that is a shift from his normal set, and was a good adjustment to utilize his best players. Expect to see more athletic 4's like Davis in the future.
How do I know recruiting highest ranked players available and then fitting them in doesn't work? As a lifelong Purdue fan, I've been watching the 4* train wreck in West Lafayette over the last 4 years. Painter decided that he was going to sign the best available player, regardless of fit, and figure out how to use them later. This has resulted in nothing but terrible defense, terrible offense, poor team chemistry, and a rash of transfers.
I wouldn't bash the incoming recruiting class until you actually see them on the floor. It's quite possible that they actually fit better and contribute sooner, than players ranked above them.
