Doog Fain head from

It's a good class, but this is still fucking stupid. It's not like the recruits are five star guys. I doubt there is much difference in a guy ranked in from 60-100 than 101-200. It's somewhat of a crap shoot after ranking the elite, can't miss guys that any shmuck could evaluate.
 
If a guy like Altman had this class it would be scary. However nobody does less with more than Romar. You could give him Kentucky's class, and he'd need an act of God to make it past the sweet 16.

5% of the top talent plus a bottom 5% coach = NIT or CBI birth.

are any of YOU legend basketball coaches... who have won at an elite level #sweatesixxteenorbetter...at a futbol skul... contaminated by the stench of false hope Bender left... the depths to which the program had sunk... at great personal and professional sacrifice... like a Call of Duty... to resurrect to Greatness... a once proud program... all while saving the lives of local youth??? And guarantee them an NBA CONTRACT! and/or a College Education?

I din't think so.

listen DUCK, before uncle Phil bought you all your shiny toys, RICH BROOKS never laughed at the tradition he was building along with his POST SEASON resume' that you seem to take for granted.
 
Romar essentially has one big-time player, a Venoy, an Aziz, and a bunch of Justin Holidays coming in.

Who knows how they'll pan out, but everyone in this class is much more highly rated than Justin Holiday ever was.

Not true. Justin Holiday was the #79 player on Scout for his class. After Murray (39) and Chriss (49), the other guys (Thybulle (76), Green (77), Crisp (99) are essentially Justin Holiday's, and the big from Canada is not ranked.

Shitting on the class is FS. It's a very good class. At the same time, most of these guys aren't going to be very successful next season.

Well damn, I stand corrected. Holiday must have moved up after he committed because the buzz at the time was "UW wasted a scholly hoping to get Jrue to sign next year". Really surprised to see him that high.

Regardless, as you said shitting on the class is FS.

 
People really just don't understand basketball when they make comments like Fain did here. Bringing in this many recruits at one time isn't healthy, or a good sign of any program. There is one person in the nation who has won with a predominately youthful roster, and that's CAL. His talent also is from 1-15th best in the nation, not 39th-100th. As someone mentioned there is a huge gap between the top 10 or 15 guys in the nation and then the rest.

Romar should be praised for keeping a few of these guys in the boat because whomever is the coach needs talent to attempt any program revival. Sadly, having this many guys all at once means at least a couple will transfer because the minutes won't be there and there is no spacing of the class. I would have much preferred him to sit on a scholy or two rather than load up a ton of guys who all expect to play at the same time. This is purely romar roster mgt 101.

In all reality we can hope that having some talent on the roster makes the job somewhat interesting to a potential coach next season, but I could easily see a situation where murray leaves for the nba and multiple guys leave if a new coach is brought in.
