Poppy gave a 5 yr time frame, so the '13-'14 squad is eligible.
 
It is not difficult for me to project what that team will look like because most of it has commited.  And my prediction based on what is projected is scary good.  Three non-freshmen McDs good.  There is not much improvement needed, just Rak, J Grant, and DC2 getting comfortable. 
 
I understand that much like the generational thread, people like to look back with a special Orange fondness.  But Pearl never played with Coleman, and when Seikaly played with Pearl, Siekaly was a goof.  One of the keys to being good but not great was staggering in a great player every 2-3 years. 
 Also often overlooked is depth.  In '13-'14 at C there will be Dc2/BMK/ and then in a pinch Rak can come over.  Back in the day, Brower used to come in.  Seriously, Derek Brower.  When Sherm gets sick, SU tried to have Stevie run the point...ouch, but better him than Mike Edwards. 
In '13-'14 we anticipate having a top 5 type backup pg (Ennis or Cat).  Why?  Because the program has notched up and good people will now wait (see MCW).
 
I don't mean to suggest that those teams weren't good, because they were.  I am just excited about the possibility the future holds and am impressed by the recent unexpected accomplishments.
