Go back and read what I said, rather than putting words in my mouth.  At no point did I say that none would come to SU.  I said there will always be (some) kids who don't want to play zone.  The some is implied, otherwise I would have said that nobody would want to play for them.  Go troll on someone else.
 
And the point is that not every 5* will be interested in getting that SU offer. As others said, Kentucky is really the only school that has that pull for so many kids, right now.  Even KU, Duke, UCLA and UNC don't get anyone they want.
 
The reality is, many kids like SU's offense, and would love to play in that style.  The reality is also that some kids just have no interest in playing zone defense.  That isn't a backhanded slight on the zone, that is just the way it will always be when you play "outside the box" (meaning anything other than the conventional style of play)
 
It is obvious that SU is recruiting better players, more consistently than they ever have.  That is a great thing to see as an SU fan.
 
I don't worry about ratings, because it doesn't take a genius to see that the coaching staff does an incredible scouting job, and a very good recruiting job.
 
And sometimes, JB recruits someone who may have a lower rating than other players, but does so because the lower rated player is much better suited for his style of offense/defense.  (ie.  Ennis is not the highest rated PG available, but in my opinion, is far and away the best PG for SU.)
