Rankings get you on the doorstep, coaching gets you through the door.  I think that much has been established given the trends of the past several years.  The teams with the best combo of talent/coaching wins. I've beat the UNC horse to death (though I enjoy giving it as many whacks as I can) but that's like the ultimate example. I do think there have been valid criticisms of Gait, but every year has gotten better with the inaugural class.  Can he take that next step next year?  Remains to be seen, but for the program's long term prospects he's going to have to.  Coaching matters more than ever at a program like Cuse given the aforementioned recruiting disadvantages.

Lax has the worst transfer landscape compared to the rest of the NCAA, but that's going to have to be where the program fills the gap in certain areas.  It can be unreliable, but that's just the cards dealt for Gait right now. Hopefully the Ivies keep stashing players so the grad transfer pool remains fruitful.
