Over the course of his career, Thad has brought in some great recruits. Where do you guys think this one will fall? Just watching, I think the 2014 class will be among his top.

2006: Mike Conley (PG, 5*), Daequan Cook (SG, 5*), Othella Hunter (PF, 3*), David Lighty (SG, 4*), Greg Oden (C, 5*)

2007: Jon Diebler (SG, 4*), Kosta Koufos (C, 5*), Dallas Lauderdale (C, 3*), Evan Turner (SF, 4*), Eric Wallace (SF, 3*)

2008: Will Buford (SG, 5*), Anthony Crater (PG, 3*), B.J. Mullens (C, 5*), Walter Offutt (SG, 4*)
(Rivals also lists Terrelle Pryor as a 4* basketball recruit..lol)

2010: Aaron Craft (PG, 3*), Jordan Sibert (SG, 4*), Lenzelle Smith (SG, 3*), Jared Sullinger (C, 5*), Deshaun Thomas (PF, 5*), J.D. Weatherspoon (PF, 3*)

2011: Trey McDonald (PF, 3*), LaQuinton Ross (SF, 4*), Shannon Scott (PG, 4*), Sam Thompson (SF, 4*), Amir Williams (C, 4*)

2012: Amedeo Della Valle (PG, 3*)

2013: Marc Loving (PF, 4*), Kameron Williams (SG, 4*)

2014: Keita Bates-Diop (SF, 4*), David Bell (C, 3*), D'Angelo Russell (SG, 5*), Jae'Sean Tate (SF, 4*)

2015: Daniel Giddens (C, 4*), Austin Grandstaff (4*), A.J. Harris (PG, 4*), Mickey Mitchell (SF, 4*)

It's obviously hard to tell where 2014 and 2015 classes are going to be, but these classes have potential to jump into the top five (I guess that really isn't that special.) It's a consensus I'd guess that Conley/Oden are the #1, 2007/2010 for #2/#3? These classes could all volt their way up. D'Angelo stays and I think this class could be fourth on the list. 2015 has great potential, as I think Mickey Mitchell can be very, very good, and a supporting cast of those 4*'s that have compiled (and hopefully Russell for at least a year) can be very good. The senior class (which is 2011) will actually look pretty good after this season. All will be seniors that see the floor regularly.

What are your thoughts?
