As much as we malign the recruiting rankings... this stuff does predict future success.



I have a question about this. I feel like every year, I read everyone "salivating" or trembling in fear over better-than-ever recruits (almost always Harvard). This was particularly true for Zena E. (I went back and checked old threads); now he's a junior and they are 4-8.

Maybe this is Amaker's fault (I'm still not convinced he's the best strategic coach in our conference), but my point stands.

Sure, Harvard's rising freshmen may look impressive, but do I think they are going to steamroll the League for 4 years? No.

I've gotten to the point where I don't even read the recruiting threads on here anymore because of the outlandish claims.



Harvard has won at least a share of the Ivy title for 5 straight years and gone to the NCAA tournament the last 4 years. They have an incoming class with 4 players rated as highly as any of Amaker's Harvard recruits up until now. They might not steamroll the league, but it's hard to believe they won't be very good next year.
