[2006alum]

Just went through all prior ESPN recruiting rankings and it looks like we had the #15 ranked class in 2014 (Travis, Humphrey, Pickens, and Cartwright) and the #18 ranked class in 2010 (with Powell, Heustis (although ironically he wasn't highly regarded coming out of high school), Nastic, and Brown). So we seem to get a top 20 recruiting class around every 4 years. The key will be to break that cycle and get them more than once every four years, because there's not any overlap between them. At least this year our freshmen will come in with a good senior recruiting class, and Cartwright red-shirted so we'll have him another year. But I definitely think we'll need more than one good recruiting class to break the slump.
