Obviously unrealistic we will get many (if any) of the top 20/25 kids that we've been on, but you've got to be in it to win it and seems as if we have a shot with a few. Perhaps Rice helps in that respect. Even so, it is equally important for the staff to be focusing on the Ledlum's, Gaffney's, Bishop's, etc of the world so as to ensure that there are plenty of options if some of the blue chippers pick another school. A problem with the prior staff was not having enough backup options when it came to recruiting the last few years of the Lavin tenure.
If we are pleasantly surprised a nab a blue chipper or two go with a Ledlum, Gaffney, etc, all the better. We will find room. In addition to Marv graduating and Ponds surely leaving to turn pro, history tells us there will be at least another transfer, not accounting for the possibility that a big year by Herron could result in him leaving. I hope Simon sticks around for his last year -- and I'm sure the staff will do everything to keep him -- but you never know with grad transfer seniors.
Bottom line - don't be concerned with us recruiting too many kids. That always works itself out. Casting a wider net is the way to go and I'd be concerned if we weren't doing that.
