Without a stong recruiting background I will roll with option 3.
I put a little kool-ade in my coffee this morning. I went Final Four but if there was an option 2.5 I would have chosen it. I think with the way things are going with current players we will probably be ok talent wise for a couple of years. If Wojo can get Cohen and Hill to come to MU I think our talent pool gets pretty impressive and MU has some tourney success which makes recruiting that much easier and MU keeps rolling on. I hope it works out this way.....
I chose 3 so as to not get ahead of ourselves. I think the key to Final Fours and NCs is knocking a the door regularly. For Buzz's first 5 seasons, we were building to a perennial 16/8 program.
I think that's all you can ask for on a year-in year-out basis. I don't think our program has a ceiling, however. I think Buzz removed that ceiling.
Glad we have Wojo in there now, and hope he can regain that momentum!
