(How many times does Knight have to bumrush the lane with a wild drive at the end of games before we realize it doesn't work)
Just how good can these incoming players be?
(Seriously, Eloy was a Top 50 recruit. Evan Daniels will never gain that credibility back)
Well, I compared the 2011 recruits by their position ranking in their class and compared them to the players at the same position rank in the previous classes.
(For god's sake, let Harrellson shoot when open.)
