Just my opinion but the 2018 class was top heavy. Harper was ranked No. 136 in our final rankings for his class. Rivals doesn't normally go that deep with four-star guys.Mag missed all of his junior year and the summer evaluation period with injury. He will be getting a lot of attention this year as more schools see him (IMO). At this point in the season two years ago Harper was a 2* who was on his way to becoming a 4*.
Haven’t seen or read much on Rieber, but a bunch of folks who have recently seen both Mag and Palmquist indicate RU got two potentially very good players. Time will tell.
If he’s a 4 star by the end of the season great. But we need to be pulling in 2 or more a year.
There are schools that are not blue bloods that pull in 2 four-star prospects a year. Some seasons when they have a small class they might land a five-star and a three-star which is basically like getting two four-star kids.No one outside of the blue bloods does this.

No one outside of the blue bloods does this.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana, Michigan State, and Minnesota all have two 4* prospects. Plus Michigan has a 4* and a 5*.
Ohio State and Maryland have gotten at least two 4*s in each of the last three years. The only reason they don't this year is because they don't have the open scholarships.
That's 9 teams.
Maybe they're not doing it every single year but it's more common than you make it seem.
Steve got Montez and Ron in the same class.No one outside of the blue bloods does this.
Russ do you give a number rank or a star rank too? I would think I would want to be able to rank a 4 star a 4 star and not have a limit. Have my own personal cut off where some years there might be more and some less.Just my opinion but the 2018 class was top heavy. Harper was ranked No. 136 in our final rankings for his class.

I still think 100 should be the four-star cut off but I don't make those decisions.

It’s on average. You need 8 top 100 players on the roster at any given time. That’s what you need in this conference if you want to go to the tournament. Bottom line.Duh....that's one class....your statement is 2 or more in every class...that's not typical of 80 to 85% of programs....asking a program that hasn't historically done that, is not realistic IMO.

The reality is right now on 11/24/2019 there is only 1 guy on this entire roster that has the look of a B1G starter. He was redshirted and was drawn here because of academics.
I look at the 8 Ivy League schools and there is competitive basketball being played and these guys ger zero scholarships and obviously dont get paid.
Big risk and just a thought.....why not tailor your program around acadmics. Forget the stupid rankings and go after kids that want to come here for academics. Have at least 2/3 of your student athletes like Myles Johnson. When kids come on official visits they see all athletes putting emphasis on school AND you play in the B1G.
I am sure this isn't feasible, but I am tired of watching guys that are supposed to be good and have 3 or 4 stars and just look completely out of place in a half court offense.
Agreed.This is what Stanford football does. Much tougher sell for a state school.
