You are entitled to that opinion.  I didn't say we turned the corner.  I said that we have the opportunity to turn the corner with both sanctions and Hop's departure behind us.

And we've lost plenty of recruits in our own backyard going all the way back to Sam Perkins in the late seventies.  Didn't really hurt us for 40 years.  Now it's apparently a problem.

The move to the ACC also coincides with sanctions and, subsequently, Hop's departure.  I don't think you can yet say whether the move to the ACC has hurt recruiting.  As to your second point, that is speculation.

LOL..C'mon.

Villanova, yes.

Seton Hall?  They have won four NCAA tournament games this century and won a single tourney game in the last 15 years.  As "mediocre" as we've been, their fans would have sold their mothers for our last decade.

Rutgers?  Just stop.

We've been playing mostly zone for almost 25 years and NOW it is a recruiting issue?  And, I'm sure that the zone has been a factor with recruits going back 25 years.  Certainly didn't hurt us with all the great recruiting we did up until about 2015...

And for a program that doesn't get guys ready for the NBA, we seem to get a bunch drafted.

No offense but your post is not very convincing.
