But I think, as a program, you either want to be UNC with lots of veteran solid players or UK with a ton of premium frosh talent.

We can be what we have been in our better seasons -- the 2015-16 team with solid veterans joined by Richardson & Lydon; or the Wes Johnson team when we added a premium transfer to a team with strong inside play, a perimeter shooter, and a young PG in Triche.  Lots of ways to build a winning team.

The issue (bigger than the issue with landing top 25 recruits who chose to leave after a year or two) is the recruiting misses in recent classes.  It is a long list -- Chukwu, Obokor, Joseph, Patterson, etc.  JB is never going to play 10 guys, but he needs more guys who can play and develop than he has had on recent rosters.  If he brings in a class of 4, it is often the quality of the #3 and #4 recruits in the class that makes the difference (Scoop Jardine and Rick Jackson being the prime examples).
