Basketball Recruiting Update.....May 2011

With the McElroy departure, we can update our recruiting tracking for men's hoops.  He is the second departure from his recruiting class...anyway, you can look at it and judge for yourself the contribution those players might be making to the program.  The class does not appear to be as strong as the class the year before, but there is always time for that to change.

For a while, I have tracked our hoops recruiting because I contended that the malaise of our program was for several years the severe shortage of quality players we have brought in and/or kept since Dan's little trip to WVU. Now, my goal is to keep an eye on where our players are coming from, as well as to document how Coach Orr changes the fortunes.
