I don't think it's a plan B class, but I think Gbinije transferring in really affected recruiting.  You got a 6'6" 2G who was the #35 prospect from a year ago who becomes eligible next year.  He's pretty much the exact same player sizewise as Seldon, Young, and maybe a bit bigger than Jordan.  So with him, you now don't truly need any of those guys - they would be nice to have, that's for sure, and those players are going to look and see not only him but Cooney as well at the shooting guard.  Yes, a star recruit probably thinks "I'll get my PT", but maybe not as much as they'd like.
 
I don't know if Patterson's any good, but if you're looking at SU for a few years down the road, I think they're in kind of a tough spot right now as far as picking the right recruits. 
 
Should nobody leave this year, they could close up shop on the 2013 class, and hope to land McCulloch, D. Johnson, and Whitehead in 2014.  This year you'd lose Southerland and Triche, and you bring in Ennis-Obokoh-Johnson-Gbinije.  They'd be again absolutely loaded for next year.
 
Should everyone who could leave this year, as has been mentioned (MCW, Xmas, Dajuan, plus the seniors), then you somehow have to hope that they get a commitment from a solid ballhandling combo guard who could live with 10-12 mins a game (Brandon Triche clone please) and another big forward type (Lawrence/Vonleh/Roberson, but in this particular scenario, BeeJay Anya is perfect).  I don't know how you set this class up without knowing who's leaving.
