We are recruiting on the fringe.   We aren't getting the top blue chip recruits like Melo anymore than can change your fortunes.   What we are getting is the players just under that.   Like a MCW, Ennis, McCullough, Grant, Richardson (maybe) just in the last couple of years.   The problem we are having is that these guys blow up or show major flashes in there 1 year here then bolt.

So if you look at this year title game...

Nova recruits the kids just below us and gets them to stay 3-4 years.  
Blue Bloods recruit kids above us and can have more success because they are getting the elite talent.

We are kind of stuck in the middle.  Get kids that if have a really good season will be on NBA radar but they aren't good enough to win national titles.   IMO

Next year if everyone comes back is a real shot with a stacked team assume health.

Battle/Howard
Richardson/Howard
Lydon/Moyer
Roberson/Moyer
Coleman/Chukwu

But I would assume that a major chunk of that team will leave after next year.   Battle, Richardson, Lydon. Roberson, Coleman will all be out basically our entire starting 5.
