We have gone through recruiting dips in the past.  I remember articles back in the late 90's saying that nobody wants to play at the dome or in the cold, and it seemed like they were right, until back to back great classes that started off with Edelin and then we ended up getting some kid named Carmelo.

However, right now things are different.  We have major questions and issues that programs are now capable of negatively recruiting against us with.

• Another Sanction
• How long will they have their HOF Coach?
• How many of their players do well in the nba after playing all zone?  This may not be a statement of fact, if you play good defense you play good defense, but no one says negative recruiting has to be based in facts, it just has to cause questions and doubt.

If our coach was still in his prime, and set to be here coaching like he has over all these years, I would feel comfortable that we will bounce back.  However, that is not the case he is in his twilight and the writing is on the wall.  Seeing how other programs have faired after losing their HOF coach,  count me in the class of concerned.  I don't think 2018 will solve all, but it will be a positive as we head into this new unknown territory.
