ESPN updated their MBB recruiting class rankings.  We went from >40 to 14th.  Not bad for Haase's first class!  I hope that he hasn't set too high of a bar for himself.

As for the team next year, predictions of a Tourney appearance seem a tad optimistic for me.  I expect good things from the freshmen, and if Travis stays healthy he should get some All-American consideration.  But we would probably need at least one or two of the returning players like Pickens, Cartwright, Sharma, or Sheffield to make a big jump for the team to get to the next level.  That's certainly possible--though maybe not likely.

Anyway, I'll be happy next year if the team continues to meet the eye test, the record improves somewhat, and players continue to show improvement.
