Rankings can be deceiving.  Just look at the Kentucky experiment. They won it all one year and land in the NIT the next. Sure Duke has the top ranked class for next season, but they will be losing most key components of this year's squad.  The 2003 squad only had two top recruits in Melo and Edelin. The rest of the team were not top 25 recruits. We would not have had Warrick if we did get top recruit Julius Hodge who ended up at NC State and playing overseas. Warrick won a title and has had a lengthy NBA career.

Donte Greene #3 PF (now out of the league)
Fab #1 C (NBA bust so far)
MCW #4 SG (ends up being a PG and a lottery pick)
Winfred Walton #1 overall (never made an NBA roster)
CJ #13 SF 
Paul Harris #12 overall (never lived up to the hype)
