Very perceptive post by the Hall. Well said. I don't think Jay has stopped recruiting the top 25 types, but he's not going to waste his time on that guy if he thinks the player is a bad fit.

Thanks WJ. Btw Newton will be playing on ESPNU on MLK day in the Spalding Hoop Hall Classic.

5:30 ET #22 Neumann-Goretti (PA) vs #2 Mater Dei HS (CA) ESPNU

I've seen Booth play a few times this season but this will be my first chance to see Newton play this year.

Well, we are currently #6 in the country and 15-1. Some would say that's pretty good, lack of "elite" recruits be damned.

I like your enthusiasm & I can't argue w/those facts but I think we both can be right. Most championship level teams in cbb have multiple elite level recruit/player. Louisville bucked the trend by not having an elite level (offensive) player & winning but Pitino is a hall of fame coach. Typically great Nova teams have had at least one elite level player, it's been those seasons where you could say the program was at championship level/status.

I would say two things about this current team. First i, they are benefiting from the fact that cbb sucks this year, at the top at least. Cbb's kind of like the BE on a whole, skimpy at the top but quality depth. The second thing I would say is, the season's only about half way done....how about just trying to be the Bluejays first before talking about being championship level.
