Ohio St(11-11) 4 consensus top 100 freshman
Mich(12-10) 5 top 50, 2 top 100, 3 Fr, So, 2 Jr, Sr
Louisville(3-19) 5 top 100 players from 21 and 22
Florida St(7-16) 2 top 50, 3 top 100 20-22
Notre Dame(10-12) 1 top 50, 3 top 100

Just some examples of talent isn't the end all be all to winning. It helps sure but you have to make it work on and off the court. We've seen Duke teams blow up and have 1st or 2nd round exits with like 8-10 top 50-100 players because it didn't work on the court.

If talent were a guarantee Purdue wouldn’t have lost to St Peters last year.
