Stool,
I really don't hold too much stock in the ratings system of kids in high school. I've seen countless guys thats rivals has rated 3 star and are playing in the NBA now while I've seen 5 star guys turn out to be college busts. Point of the matter is that its all about on the court and not on paper.
Paul Milsap, Rodney Stuckey, Sean Williams are a few names off the top of my head and I think DJ Strawberry if I'm not mistaken too. I think Aaron Gray wasn't even a top 150 guy either not that he is NBA but he dominated in the Big East.
Like anything in life, there are abberations. In effect, your hopes for this basketball team lie with Norm catching lightning in a bottle with some under the radar players. As a fan, does that seem fair to you? Especially when the only thing that could've possibly made Roberts a candidate for this job in the first place was a supposed recruiting prowess at Illinois and Kansas!! With Norm Roberts as your game coach, you better start caring about recruits' rankings quickly.
