My opinion is that JB and Hop are
very good at what they do and are committed to running a clean program.  They will go after the best kids that they can that are clean and drop the recruiting of a kid when it crosses the line.

I get your point that there are more temptations and maybe even a higher chance of recruiting trouble in the top 20, but I'm not sure you can blanket every kid in the top 20 as being unfit for recruitment.

I would bet JB has a pretty good sniffer when it comes to this stuff. I'm sure he sometimes regrets putting time into the kids we lost out on but I'm sure he also gets that going after the more elite kids is what makes a program elite.

Not to say that the 21-100 group is not a solid way to go, but I think if we want to be considered among the UNC, Kansas and Dukes of the world, to compete you are going to need at least a few elite players.  We have been doing very well at this over the past several years.  No reason to think that won't continue.
