I don't disagree with the above comments -- but there is one underlying fact that can't be disputed -- every Final Four team in recent history was loaded (3-6 players) with Top 100 talent and back-filled with Top 250 talent. Do the research and it's simply a fact whether you believe in the ranking system or not, it does prove out when it comes to the top teams in the nation.
We can dominate the A-10 by bringing in those kids that will work their tails off to get better. And I think we can get to the Sweet 16 with the right mix of those kids and our current coaching staff. And in turn those accomplishments SHOULD help us land Top 50 recruits and transfers on a consistant basis. But you can't discount the fact you have to have top talent to make the Final Four and that's where I'd like to see this program go.
