I am worried.  2017 recruiting class already looks grim:

I like sub-4 players because they stay multiple years and many times become great players.  The problem is this or next year is JB's last year.  We do not have a descent PG for next season.  I would be very happy to get 4 star player at this point for the 2018 class.  With coach Hop taking over there's just too many unknowns.  I'm afraid we may see a 4 to 6 year low as Hop takes over.  Having a HOF coach was a great selling point for recruiting.  And we have overachieved for so many years now.  It's going to be a long road for a bit.  The next few years will be happiness fuel for when the program returns to near elite status.

I can see the other poster's comments about Duke and UK somehow slipping money to players under the covers.  UK gets 5 5-star recruits year after year.  It's just amazing.  Maybe after the Dome is renovated just the venue itself will be enough of an attraction for good players.   When JB is going it's going to be tough.
