I am a huge Cuse fan but I don't blame kids wanting to go to Duke or UK over us. Think about it. We have been trending on being a bubble team year over year for the past 5 years. Unless that changes and we can be consistently in the top 4 in the ACC then I don't see us competing for top talent against these blue bloods.

This program has become stale. We have had some nice tourney runs in the past 5 years but regular season play has been brutal to watch.

I hope IJ picks us and makes an immediate impact to our program that builds some momentum for us on the recruiting trail.

Right now, with the level of talent we have been recruiting, we cannot compete with the big boys in the ACC or in the country.

Our past recruiting class was a nice haul but it was a nice haul of 3* four year guys (Edwards, JBA, JG3) and a couple of high potential guys (Quincy, Goodine). None of them I feel are game changers right away. To be competing with the big boys we need a couple of high 4* recruits and 1 5* recruit to compete with these guys. Even JB has mentioned in the recent past, that we just don't have the talent to compete with the big boys.

It is just sad how we are no longer a destination for top recruits. We are a fall back plan at best for the blue chippers out there.
