Basketball recruiting

NC State has a new basketball coach, so I have been paying a bit more attention to recruiting. After only a few weeks on the job, he signed one excellent recruit for 2012. I was poking around a recruiting site and saw Kentucky's incoming class for this year. They have signed the:
  1. Number 1 point guard in the country
  2. Number 1 small forward
  3. Number 1 power forward
  4. Number 2 center
That just doesn't seem fair. Even Duke's recruiting is bad by comparison. Check out the list. I guess that crappy center will have a lot to prove, being second best and everything.

That Kentucky coach is the only one in history to have 2 Final Four appearances "vacated" (great word).

I am sure he is following the recruiting rules now (sarcasm set to high).
