That #5-8 ranking has warped some of you guys mind. We signed a bunch of guys who can/will be very good basketball players. We didn't sign any elite basketball players like Kentucky (they signed 3 elite guys). Nick is the closest thing to that & he couldn't even get a Kentucky offer so think about that.
Agree. Everyone wants to relate basketball recruiting to football recruiting, but the elite basketball talent pool is far far smaller.

If you think about the NBA draft. Think about the difference between the first 3 overall picks & the 10th overall pick. Usually there is light years difference.

However, in the NFL, you can land Dak Prescott & Tom Brady after 3rd round.

There's no comparison. The basketball talent pool is extremely shallow. The different between a top 3 class & a 4-10 class is the Grand Canyon
