Men's Hoops Recruits by Year

I've been running this list for years.  I started it to illustrate a point...that our program struggled for 20 years partly because of a lack of recruiting a consistent critical mass of playing talent.  You need to hit on most of your players--and you need consistent, quality starters every year to keep your program near the top.  You can see plenty of years in this list where that didn't happen...and then toward the end you see things start to shore up and you begin to get a critical mass of talent in the program.
