Agreed for the most part. There are the extreme cases though where it comes back to bite you- St. John's for example.

Of course I'm not saying that it's ideal to have that large of a class, but you have to fill your needs and if it means a large unbalanced class, so be it. Get the best players and worry about class balance later. It generally works itself out. |

The win here is that IU is re-building. I cannot fault a kid in Indiana wanting to be a part of restoring the glory that is IU basketball. In fact, I can rejoice the fact that Thad Motta is not getting the top recruits from Indiana!
Kudos to Jeremy for finding a college home, I wish him nothing but success. |

It's a bunch of good high school basketball players. The only returning player is Dwayne Polee, and his stats are very underwhelming... SJU will struggle next year. That doesn't mean they won't win some games or beat a few teams they shouldn't, but they will be a vastly different team. |

I think the point about unbalanced classes is that it never allows sustained success. It's always a 3-4 year cycle with 2 good years and 1-2 bad ones. Balancing your incoming and outgoing players over 4 years allows for consistent infusion of young talent while maintaining depth and experience. All other things being equal, balanced classes are better than unbalanced ones.

It's one of the reasons they want to bring a juco big in. Balance is important.
