The recent turnaround in men's basketball has probably relieved the recruiting concerns for many. Watching the Ohio State game the other day, though, I started to wonder whether it should still be a concern. I love our current freshman and sophomores, but when I watch teams in the top-25, I can't help but think our guys (specifically, our guards) don't quite stack up, physically and pure talent-wise, to the top talent on these teams.
Looking ahead, for 2015, we have 3-star Ryan Cline and 3-star Grant Weatherford, both with what appears to be very few other high-major others based on their rivals profiles (I realize this may not be up-to-date). For 2016, we have 3-star C.J. Walker.
For comparison, here are the 2015 rivals recruits for a few of our B1G competitors:
Illinois: 3-stars (1), 4-stars (3)
Indiana: 3-stars (1), 4-stars (1)
Mich St: 3-stars (1), 4-stars (1), 5-stars (1)
Nebraska: 0-stars (1), 3-stars (1), 4-stars (2)
I know this topic has been beaten to death the past few years, but I'm still curious as to how you view our recruiting for 2015 and 2016. Has it turned the corner or should it still be a concern? Thanks for your thoughts!
