Carton is #1 on my wish list

[bilsu]

There are top 25 teams with much lower rated talent.

I have said this is a top 10 team next year given everyone returns and recruits all come. I was chastised by muatl or whatever the hell his name is. I dont think I was far off.

Talent ratings are often wrong. Buzz's recruits Williams and Jones were rated top 100 out of high school and they were not good players.

LOL literally one of the things that still make me laugh to think about. One of the main reasons I have come to value program fit over #rank next to a name when it comes to recruiting!

Carton is Shaka's #1 as well if you saw the presser, with DG and JL in that order.

It's amazing when people on here see 4* or 5* attached to a player's name.  They often think they're game changers and automatic stars as soon as they enter the Fiserv.  Slow your roll people.... and take a look at all of the 4* that have flamed out before even hitting campus.  Even a 5* isn't a guarantee.

Absolutely true. But true both ways.

 Will the team be top 10 next year, unlikely, but I like to dream big. Are they top 25ish hell yes they are.

Yep. Just ask Self (Grimes) and Wright (Quinerly).

Best example is probably Cliff Alexander

Got a ways to go before we're top 25ish.

I am very confident that MU will field a very competitive team next season. With the current transfer rules I hope Shaka does not waste a day, let alone a season. There is no 5 year window for Shaka on grading his performance. He is a seasoned coach and great recruiter, the meter started today at 2:00pm for judging Shaka.

Agreed. The timeframe should be considerably lower than it would be for a former assistant.

Wow! Shaka seat is just not hot, Goose just cranked up the thermostat in his office. Out of the UT frying pan and into the MU fire.

We get it Goose. Like they say at NASA: failure is not an option.
