Men's Basketball Recruiting Scorecard, Updated

So, this has been going on for a few years.  I keep it going...not sure why.  Hopefully, we can retire this.  Look, since the WVU debacle BG has only had a couple winning seasons, and the primary theme is the lack of getting consistent high quality players.

Below is a year by year listing of BG's recruiting classes for men's basketball.  It contains both players who did not stay and players who did and failed to rise much above average.

Both graduates this year are from the 10-11 class:  Cam Black and Craig Sealey.  One player (Oglesby) already graduated and another (Henderson) has one more year.  Black was a good player and Sealey was a role player at his best who never emerged into a larger role.

The best class , in my view, is 05-06, with Marschall, Moten, Samarco and Clements, three of whom who formed the core of a MAC regular season title team.  This was a Dakich class.

The 08-09 class was the best Orr class, with Calhoun, Thomas and Dee Brown.  And you see what I mean.

Anyway, without further delay, here is the annual update of the recruiting scorecard.
