Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 292878, member: 1764"] UConn has been getting 4 and 5 star recruits for years, that is not debatable, I agree. UConn has drawn elite talent before (Rudy Gay, Charlie V, Kemba, etc.), I agree. That doesn't mean the 2011 class wasn't the best/one of the best in UConn history (based on high school rankings). The 2000 class may have been better based on high school ranking, if you could find a good way to rank Caron Butler with the high school class. This doesn't mean this era is some zenith for UConn recruiting, simply that the 2011 class was one of the best UConn has ever had. 2010 was relatively normal and 2012 was relatively poor (all based on high school rankings). This isn't some zenith but it also isn't the huge drop off that many here comment on. 2012 is a bit of a dropoff, but it's unknown if that is an aberration due to the NCAAT ban or if it is the new norm going forward. Obviously this is unknown until 2013 players start committing in droves. A lot will depend on Calhoun and his replacement. 2011 Class [LIST] [*]Andre Drummond - (no rsci, due to reclassification, but pretty much #2 by everyone coming into this past year) [*]DeAndre Daniels - #29 (rsci) [*]Ryan Boatright - #58 (rsci) [/LIST] 2010 Class [LIST] [*]Roscoe Smith - #28 (rsci) [*]Shabazz Nappier - #75 (rsci) [*]Jeremy Lamb - #78 (rsci) [/LIST] 2009 Class [LIST] [*]Alex Oriakhi - #16 (rsci) [*][SIZE=13px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Jamal Coombs-McDaniel - #50 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2008 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Kemba Walker - #15 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Ater Majok - #74 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Nate Miles - #91 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2007 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]None[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2006 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Stanley Robinson - #18 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Curtis Kelley - #30[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000](rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Jerome Dyson - #36[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000](rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Doug Wiggins - #55 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Hasheem Thabeet #64[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000] (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2005 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Marcus Johnson - #51[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000](rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Jeff Adrien - #53[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000](rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2004 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Rudy Gay - #5 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]AJ Price - #24 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2003 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000][SIZE=13px][FONT=Arial]Charlie Villanueva - #18 (rsci)[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000][SIZE=13px][FONT=Arial]Marcus Williams - #41 (rsci)[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Josh Boone - #95 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2002 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Rashad Anderson - #24 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Denham Brown - #34 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2001 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Ben Gordon - #41 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Emeka Okafor - #99 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]2000 Class[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Taliek Brown - #10 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Scott Hazelton - #35 (rsci)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Caron Butler* (post grad but probably a top ten) (rsci was 30 or so, but wasn't ranked due to being post grad)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
