More BS. The program already has taken the next step. We have gone from one of the worst teams in the SEC to a tournament team. Has it been a slow process? Absolutely, but we have made huge strides, and now we are starting to see better recruits take notice. None of the guys we have coming in next year are slouches. They were all recruited by serous basketball programs.
Turtle Jackson had offers from Florida, Uconn, Tech, Kansas, etc...
E'torrion Wilridge had offers from Iowa State, Marquette, Oklahoma, etc...
Derek Ogbeide had offers from Tulane, Memphis, Virginia Tech, etc...
Michael Edwards had offers from Kansas State, Pitt, SMU, etc...
Jordan Harris had offers from Uconn, Tennessee, Maryland, Memphis, etc...
The point I am making is that the recruiting is better and probably on par with our current "standing". Plus, Fox clearly has the ability to improve players. Top 100 recruits won't come here until we have some sustained success and make a tournament run or two. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get the fanbase on board now. This is actually a really exciting time for the program, but instead people just want to harp on any "failure" they can find.
As far as the football recruiting is concerned, they miss on PLENTY of recruits. There is just a much much larger pool to choose from.

That's all nice, but a big time player or two would make all the difference.
That's not true. Go look at LSU, A&M, MSU, AU's classes.
They also have to fill more spots. The football program recruits in the top 10. The basketball program isn't anything close to that. I'm not saying they should be, but the football miss comparison doesn't really hold water. If the basketball program could sign one top 100 kid per class, the ceiling of the team would rise dramatically. I'm not saying the guys we signed are slouches. They just aren't guys who take you to the sweet 16, most likely. They can help a great team though.
