And what exactly would be wrong with that? Thompson is our 6th all time leading scorer and Harris is our 15th all time leading rebounder in just 3 seasons. I think your expectations are a little on the inflated side. While I would love to have a class of 5 - 5 stars, what about folks "expectation" that we would pull 5 such players was even remotely realistic?
There's nothing wrong with that, but as RF and others have pointed out in this thread, we need 2 dependable shooters to play on the wing next year, and so far we don't have one, even among the guys it is hoped that we close for.
Sorry to sound so repetitive / pessimistic to some, but we have a glaring need for a couple guys who are going to come in and score as freshmen. Quade can give us some of that, but if we have to replace White, Gillon, Lydon and Battle (worst case scenario), we need at least 2 more legitimate shooters/scorers in this class, and so far we have a top PG and two four year guys for the front court. Very solid players, but not guaranteed scorers as freshmen.
