The class is just underwhelming for what is needed to be in the top 3 or 4 of the ACC and compete for a conference championship.

Just looking back at [USER=652]Alsacs[/USER] original post with updates a year later:

Centers
[S]Jon Bol Ajok- rSo[/S]
Frank Anselem Soph[I](?)[/I]
Jesse Edwards- Junior

Forwards
[S]Alan Griffin Senior
Quincy Guerrier- Junior
Robert Braswell rJunior
Woody Newton- Soph[/S]
Benny Williams- Freshman[I](?)
Cole Swider (?)
[/I]
Guards
[S]Buddy Boeheim Senior[/S]
Joe Girard Junior
[I]Symir Torrence[/I]
[S]Kadary Richmond Soph
Chaz Owens Soph[/S]

SU got the big class, but I don't think the talent is there to step in as freshmen and take the starting roles needed to push the class over the top.  There was a lot of crowing about how great this class was going to be based on who was being recruited and they whiffed on them all.

JG3 and Jesse can be expected to add a few points per game, but that doesn't replace Jimmy & Buddy - although maybe the defense is better, but that's a wildcard because lots of talented players come in and can't immediately grasp the zone.  Need a Flynn level talent at PG and KJo at SF.
