Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 1477836, member: 9"] I don't think you are looking at the big picture. You might be looking at the 10 ships different than a top 25 kid is looking at our 10 ships. Fewer ships doesn't ensure top 25 talent. Yes, it puts a lot of pressure on our coaches to make it right but it doesn't guarantee these kids will come to the Cuse. Every Plan A needs a Plan B. Even with Battle who verballed to UM. They needed to have a back up plan. Bottom line is that not every top 25 kid is going to be a star and not every kid ranked 75-125 is going to be a flop. I think that's why the coaches shoot for kids with good character, hopefully a good work ethic and hopefully the ability to improve over a four or five year span. Don't forget that MCW and TE left this team way before anyone expected them to. Same for Jonny Flynn. [/QUOTE]
