Don't know why you were so salty about us enjoying talking about recruiting but I got you some numbers.

With the last 5 national champs I went back and looked to see their IL average class rank out of 20 for the four classes before their national title wins:

2018 Yale: Average class 9.5 
2017 Maryland: Average class 5.25 
2016 North Carolina: Average class 2.25 
2015 Denver: Average class 12.5
2014 Duke: Average class 5 
> all together the average class rank of these five champs is : 6.9

Cuse average class rank 2010-2018: 6.8 
Cuse last 4 average class rank: 10

So we would be on the high end for class ranks for us to win this year. However as you can see from Denver it is not impossible. Clearly class ranks do matter. However this data doesn't show things like Maryland having the #1 class four years before they won the title. Some times one class could mean everything. Transfers are also not included. There is endless data to go over but when it comes down to it you need good players. Losing Parlette hurts as i believe he was one of those good players.
