Message: [QUOTE="fanfanclubclub, post: 9968, member: 787"] That's not true. The 2009-2010 team wasn't nearly as congested from the perspective of a recruit. The '09-10 season started the year with: 1 returning Sr starter who was not first round material (Arinze), 1 returning SR moving from role player to starter (Andy) who was not first round material, 1 returning JR moving from role player to starter (Rick) who was not first round material, 1 JR transfer player who was 1st round material, and a bunch of role players and mildly-recruited freshman with no experience: with a total of zero McD all-americans, zero Wooden preseason candidates, and zero five star recruits, zero Chris Paul/Durant camp stars, etc. That sort of talent is not going to scare away anyone: and it didn't. FAB, Dion, CJ, and Keita all signed up. The '10-11 team was pretty loaded, especially up front, so RAK's commit was a bit of a surprise, but MCW is going to play so there was nothing to scare him away. This year's club is more loaded than any SU team in recent history. Yes, we say that every year (lately), but this year it is actually true. We have two McDs up front, and a SO Keita who might be better than both. We have a Wooden candidate at the 3, who is joined by SO Fair who might be our best player. Southerland is the best player not to crack the rotation is a very long time. We will have at least one, possibly two, Wooden candidates in the backcourt, backed up by our third McD's all american. Highly recruited guards Waiters, Cooney, and Jones will fight for scrap minutes. This year's club has much more talent, depth, and log jams than in previous years. That being said, if Grant commits next week, are we really that far behind schedule? Hopefully we get Grant and DC soon, keep our options open for a big PG, and otherwise pocket the scholie for the Noel Extravaganza. [/QUOTE]
