I pay 0 attention to this stuff, but of course, we stand a chance.

I do not know about the Pearl, but recall the other players you mention were top 5ish.

In 2018, the top 5, per 247 sports, went to Duke (3), Carolina, Oregon.
In 2019, they went to Memphis, Georgia, Washington, Carolina, the NBA.
In 2020, they went to Oregon State, USC, Kentucky, the NBA (2)
In 2021, they went to Gonzaga, Duke, Kentucky, Memphis, the NBA.
In 2022, they went to Arkansas, Duke (3), Texas.
In 2023, they are going to USC, Kentucky (3), the NBA.

So, if they do not end up at Duke or Kentucky or the NBA, I think we stand a chance.

A Zion Williamson or a Paolo might be equivalent to what a DC did for Syracuse. Would be nice to get one of those physically dominant, & highly skilled bigs again. Ala Arinze Onuaku.

But, I think getting a couple from the top 25, a couple more from the top 40 and 1 from the top 100, and you coach them up, you have a chance to get to the sweet 16 on a regular basis.

I think we continue to get good guards, but suffer from too many project players at the 4 and 5 spots.
