This year was special, next year will be great but

[Jack Hall]

i cant help but think this FF run will have the most impact on the 2017 recruiting class. We are going after some huge talent and a lot of them: Green and Duval at pg, Diallo at the 2, Knox and Porter at the 3 , Bamba at the 4, Richards at 5. Most of these guys are top 15 recruits (see below). Now SU is not Uk or duk so we wont get most of them. That would be a miracle. But even if we land 1 or 2 , with the help of this FF run and a chance to watch JB go out with a bang, it would be huge. Hope we are in the lead for A couple of these guys? Next year will be great either way, Go Cuse!

I don't follow recruiting as closely as most of you so that's good to know. Because I was just looking at the 2016 rankings (seeing 12 of the top 10 guys committed to Dook or UK as per usual) and wondering Christ, have we been killed more than any other single program by early departures? We seem to be right in the anti-sweet spot for recruiting players good enough to leave early but not good enough to just re-load with elite talent every damn year. I don't know, I'm sure there are others like Arizona/Indiana and whatnot.
