SU shares common ground with louisville in being a major cbb power that does not typically roll in top 15 recruits in bunches each year. You have to look at it a bit different in that we have had kids go pro that were nowhere near nba radars before SU. Their success at the next level is not all that relevant imho when you factor where they started. As for top recruits we just havent had that many. Even guys like dion jerami grant etc were fringe burger guys. Mcw melo rak mccullough fab greene and flynn are the blue chippers and their success isnt breaking the norm vs other schools. Right now UK is bringing in surefire lotto picks and they are doing as expected. It alters perception seeing so many of them but that again happens with them coming on campus vs turning into nba players on campus. The future for our most recent classes is bright minus maybe dion. The chances of success for rak joining a team set for several years of success has to be weighed in. Look at wes matthews.. Draymond green.. Marc gasol.. Just a few examples of 2nd rounders joining established teams and doing well. The spurs seem to always have a few as well.
