Jeez, why so sensitive, I didn't mean to strike a nerve.  [I]'Defeatist nonsense?' [/I] What the heck is that?

I was being objective when I said that we rarely land top 20 type recruits in comparison to UK, Duke and KU, etc., and, [I]rom a recruiting standpoint,[/I] they are on a different level than us, that's it!  That is a fact, nothing to debate there.  JB himself has said this over the years consistently as well.

That said, SU's program has been extremely successful and JB has accomplished this with his own particular system.  I never stated or implied otherwise, you chose to interpret it that way for whatever reason, and, that's what is [I]'nonsense.'[/I]

We've played 3 games so far this season.  Let's see how it plays out, that's the beauty of being able to play the games to see what ultimately transpires.  I believe this team has the potential/making of a stellar season and    I'm very excited about that.  Top 5...maybe, we'll see.  If we do end up playing UK this year in the tourney and come out victorious, again, it doesn't change the[I] fact[/I] that they recruit at a higher level.

I was also at the FF in Houston, and watched as well.  I guess you're refering to 'Nova's victory over UNC in the championship game.  However, I don't see how a last second 27 footer at the buzzer to win equates to [I]'taking it'[/I] to the team you're referring to.  FWIW, I was also at the FF in Atlanta in 2013.  :)
