Message: [QUOTE="longislandcuse, post: 2441219, member: 937"] Great point - recruiting length means you constantly lose players to the NBA if they show promise. That promise never comes close to being filled because we don't usually get the Top 10 guys.. We get the long, athletic group of recruits after that... and they typically take 2-3 years to be the what the cream of the crop are Day 1. If Lydon and Battle were Top 10 guys, you could expect them to kill it from Day 1, instead we get the sophomore season we got from Lydon and are currently getting from Battle that isn't lifting the team and then they're gone. We need to get back to the point where we get a Bazley every year or two. Then add an upperclassmen Frank Howard type with a Battle/Malachi to the mix, along with athletic bigs and there's your Championship caliber team year in/year out. Might be nice to actually spend a scholly on a non-grad transfer shooter more than once every 3 years as well. [/QUOTE]
