The last three classes* have had:
Andrew Wiggins (#1 overall pick)
Joel Embiid (#3 overall pick)
Wayne Selden (14th overall recruit)
Cliff Alexander (3rd overall recruit)
Kelly Oubre (11th overall recruit)
Check Diallo (7th overall recruit)
Carlton Bragg (top 25 recruit)
Brannen Greene (4 star)
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (N/A)
Frank Mason (3 star)
Devonte Graham (4 star)
I'm sorry we don't have Brandon Ingram and Isaiah Briscoe on this team, but we are ranked higher than Duke, UNC, and Kentucky, who all had "better" recruiting classes. I simply don't understand this line of thinking. Our lowest ranked player (not counting Svi) was Frank Mason, and I think we can all agree at least that he doesn't play like a 3 star recruit.
