Message: [QUOTE="Oráiste, post: 2018092, member: 5974"] over the last 10 seasons, SU has been ranked outside [URL='http://insider.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/classrankings/_/class/2017/date/20161228']the top 25 recruiting classes[/URL] just once, in 2009. In 5 of those 10 seasons, we have had a class ranked in the top 10. this recruiting season may find us out of the top 25 again, but recent history has shown that we can recover from down recruiting cycles. 2017 is not over yet, btw. the problem is not that recruiting has been poor, but that we've misjudged the talent on consecutive point guards (Joseph & Howard) and missed out so far on a replacement this cycle. Three cycles without a PG is tough to overcome. we saw a sample of 9 games with a team that was not that good & didn't gel until the very end of the year. Not nearly enough for a rational person to make such a sweeping judgement. [/QUOTE]
