Then why didn’t he just say top 5 smh*
 Previous Message I think our oversees guys you referenced and the kid we stole from wake were very very expensive. Werner said something to effect recently that we are top 10 in hoops nil and closer to 1 than 10. Previous Message
We are bringing in some highly rated recruits, and if we land a couple of them, maybe you're right. So far, we've been an early adopter of shopping overseas, and hit on a lottery ticket with Wagler. Our top freshman this year we stole from Wake Forest, on no one's list of big spenders. We're filling out the roster with midwest kids who mostly have modest offer lists.
