In the recent college basketball landscape one and done's haven't been winning titles.  And there's a few examples of teams with recruiting classes worse than ours finishing ahead of us.  Plus with the transfer portal I don't get why people are fixated on HS prospects.  We can find good players in the portal  Our issue is we have not had a point guard since Ennis left and that is the main reason we have been slightly above average.

Also,  I am not cherry picking anything.  The guys we have signed now are ranked higher than guys in the past 4-5 years. we have the 4th ranked recruiting class right now in the conference.  I suspect if we sign Bunch, Carey and/or Starling we will have the 2nd or at worst 3rd behind Duke and UNC and that is right where we should be.

There's a portion of this fanbase that thinks we should get like 2 top 25 guys every season and that is the only way to win.  Recent college basketball history shows that is not true.  And it really has not been true for us even when we were winning 25 games a season.  I believe that's happened twice in the past 25 years.  2007 with Flynn and Donte and 2010 with Fab and Dion.

So I guess if you love top HS players so much then you really should be excited for Benny Williams.
