I think some people have forgotten the recruiting rankings of our 2010 team...one of the best teams we have ever had.

Triche, Rautins, Johnson, and Onuaku were not top 100 recruits, and 3 of them made the NBA. Scoop, Joseph, and Jackson  were well regarded but all the same they were not exactly can't miss, blue chippers either.

Rautins and AO were 5th year seniors, Johnson was a 4th year junior.  Scoop and Jackson were in their 3rd years.  Joseph was in his second year.  That team was old and those kids had time in their college careers to develop into what they were.

We can't forget that Scoop wasn't very good as a freshman, Rautins was a nonfactor, Joseph showed potential but had little perimeter game at that point.  AO barely played, even though we all loved his offensive potential he showed.  Jackson wasn't much of a factor.  It took time for all those guys to come on.

With guys like Moyer, Washington, etc. and sanctions almost over, I'm hoping we can get back to having guys around the program for years and getting better like that.
