I know it’s been said but crazy to see 2 McDonald’s All Americans who played less than 10 minutes, shows the talent we had. On top of that, both guys stuck it out and ended up progressing and being MAJOR contributors, something that doesn’t seem to happen nowadays with players who aren’t even as highly heralded. Although I do remember hearing that if Dion had come back for his Junior year (which would have been crazy on his part) then MCW would have transferred. The same probably would have been said for Rak if Fab had come back along with Baye still here and DC2 coming in. What a wealth of talent and good problems to have.
I'm doubt we ever see that again. Guys want to play big minutes almost immediately. Someone like Southerland and Fair on those teams would now want to play big minutes immediately and wouldn't be willing to stick around to not be a starter until they were upperclassmen.
