That would definitely mean a top 25 finish.
That is a really funny joke. Well done.
You could also look at it and say that our class this year wouldn't be anywhere close to what it is without the atmosphere. Or are you saying the kids who committed never watched a game?
The sky isn't falling. We aimed high and lost out at the last minute.
Thomas is a 6'9 PF. He looks at our roster and sees Tolbert, Moore, MK already in there as bigs. Sure, MK is an unknown coming back, but nobody knows what is going to happen there. Thomas can go to A&M and start. Same reasons we were supposed to get Mundiay this year and we got KF the year before that. The 20th rated recruit in the country doesn't look and say, boy I can provide great depth and grow. They want to start.
We have well regarded 3 and 4 star players in this class, and that is what we are going to get unless a clear starting position opens up. Outside of Frazier, this class would be considered an upgrade over Moore and Brown. So overall the level of player we are going after and the standard quality of player we are landing have improved.
