This is the kind of year that Hill and Rice both had and they failed to build on.
2009 Hill had Rosario, Chandler, Echenique, Coburn, and Pettis as freshman or sophomores. Only Coburn of those guys finished their career here.
2012 Rice had Mack, Carter, Biruta, Seagears, Jack, and Poole as freshman or sophomores. Only Mack and Jack finished their careers here. This 2012 team went 6-12 in the Big East and had the Florida win.
Heck even Eddie had Sanders, Williams, Foreman, and Laurent as freshman or sophomores in 2016.
Recruiting needs to improve but if we merely hold on to the talent we have then we'll already be in better shape than we've been in under the last three coaches.
