I gave up on this "elite program" aspiration long ago. Would be quite happy with achieving "annually competitive" level with occasional bursts of greatness. Occasional lapses would be fine, so long as we don't go into the abyss ten years at a time. Marquette, Villanova, modern day Georgetown, Xavier, and perhaps Temple represent a respectable level of achievement. We will never be a Duke, North Carolina, Kansas type program, but let's just aspire to be a consistently respected program with a chance to make noise. I would sacrifice this top 20 elite recruit mentality any day. give me solid four year players, an occasional top 75 kid or two and a coach who can prepare a team, develop players and present a challenge to opposition on a regular basis. Being in the BE, playing at MSG & having access to solid players in metro area, I think we could be proud of our team.
