Is this not what we have been doing?
I agree it starts with recruiting. Have to gobble up as many of the 4 stars as possible. We (X) didn't do that this year, but hopefully we'll bounce back.

In regards to ESPN's Top 100 for the Class of 2018, Villanova has 2 (most likely will be 3 when it is all said and done), G'Town has 1, Creighton has 1, SJU has 1, Marquette has 1, and PC has 2, that is 8 overall so far and none of our commitments are really Top 50 guys. The ACC has 8 commitments in the Top 25 alone, will probably be more when it is all said and done. I know ESPN is only 1 recruiting service (Scout/247, Rivals, etc.), and sometimes you have to take rankings with a grain of salt, but our recruiting as a conference overall needs to be a lot better. Jay Wright has made a living off guys in the 50 - 100 range so we don't necessarily need Burger Boys either. We should be aiming for 15-20 guys in the Top 100 coming to the Big East every year though to remain strong as a whole and also to prove that we are a desirable destination for top ranked recruits. Gotta pick it up on the recruiting trail.
To conclude, it would be nice for a traditional Big East team like Georgetown or St. John's to step up and become a Top 25 team consistently. We should be aiming for 4 or 5 teams ranked in the Top 25 at all times, and we should be aiming for 5 to 7 teams in the dance every year.

I didn't say we haven't been doing that, I just said that is what we need to be aiming for every year. We have been doing a decent job of getting teams in the dance, last year with 7 was really good, I wouldn't be surprised if we get 7 in again this year. Says a lot, but as a whole, we could be representing a lot better come March as well. I believe out of the 7, only 1 team made it to the second weekend last year. Also, 3 Top 20 teams right now is good, but we should have at least 1 more team ranked.
Look, we are doing a good job, but we have to continue to aim higher as a whole, and again, it starts with recruiting, once that happens, the rest starts to take care of itself.
