Combination of things:
1. Hill and Walker, both 5-stars, were busts
2. We've had several solid players that just didn't have the elite game to get drafted, but came close (DFS, Young, MFII, Wilbekin, Prather, add Robinson to the list)
We've had pretty good success at building team chemistry with these solid players, but in cycles, as it takes a couple of years for teams to gel. Young, MFII, Prather, Wilbekin and Yeguette went to three Elite 8s if I'm not mistaken. Then a couple of down years due to recruiting misses and Billy taking off; now we're trending up and getting some looks from some of the elite recruits - just need to land one or two.
Yep this past season should definitely help us with the program image.
