Face it people, we were spoiled. Flynn/Donte started the trend of us getting elite talent, ever since then it seems like we've had good higher tier recruits (MCW, Waiters, Devo, Fab,etc) and did a great job of getting the lesser heralded dudes to play exceptionally well (KrisJo, Fair, Triche, Rautins, Southerland, etc.)

You can't hit the perfect roster every year, we are 3 years removed from a Final Four, and the year after that we started 25-0. it was bound to slow down at some point.

Last year was the low point talent wise, but this year is better, and next year should be even better (barring something unexpected).

We've missed on just as many recruits as normal (Joseph, BJ, Patterson, Obokoh) but it becomes more glaring and obvious simply because the top of the roster isn't as good as it has been in the past. I think come February this team will be fine -- we arguably had the 2 toughest games of any ACC team to start the year and we battled in both without JB.

Miami and Pitt are simply better and deeper than us, there's a reason they are like 23-2 combined. The roster could be a little better, but there is talent.
