So, sometimes we don't get a kid that we think would be great to have. So it goes. As far as highly talented prospects... the trees are full of them. Some you get some you don't. At the end of the day, equally important is the dynamic of the team that you do assemble from those kids you can convince to come play for your program. With what seems like a tweaking of emphasis by JB and the staff, we have some kids coming who will fill in the missing element we've had recently... SCORERS.  If we can field a team that can play defensively on par with some of the recent teams but  have the ability to put points up on the board, that is what is going to propel us to another national championship. Perhaps not this coming year, and they could surprise us, but the following year we will certainly be in the mix IMHO. So, along the line of not giving a flying alley oop about Jones going elsewhere, I offer up one of my Cuse Basketball Limericks:

There's many top prospects,  only a few that you land
Some you think "done deal" who slip through your hand
With JB and Gmac, Red Autry and Hop
we all know the next class will be near the top!
Jones may go elsewhere and we all can profess
that now he has  spoken we couldn't care less!
If he plays us at some point he'll sweat real profuse
Cuz we'll have Malachi rainin' treys for the Cuse!
So stop by the board here and hear a big THUD!
That's the sound of us landing another big STUD!
We've lined up some ballers who soon will be here
with a Dome full of Orange fans with reason to cheer!
So don't fret when we lose one from some future class
The team that we field then will big time kick a$$!
