Wynn/Byles/Wheeler would be a great class for most programs - two top 25 players and another top 100. UNC had a similar class last year that was ranked #5 by ESPN. Would also be similar to Demetre/Iriafen/Harriel, which was definitely top ten. Fingers crossed on these visits!
Yes, but we should aspire to be better than most programs, especially if we don't want to wait another 30 years for a national title. When USC hauls in three #1 recruits in six years and the free agent (*ahem* transfer) market is usually not available to us, we need to score on elite recruits.
Also, Iriafen obviously turned out to be a great recruit but Demetre underperformed expectations (in my books) - solid, but not great and then Harriel's been okay, not on the same level as the guards we've faced over the last couple years, like Saniya Rivers or Aziaha James from NC State or an Olivia Miles from Notre Dame.
