This is the deepest, most talented class I've seen in the Ivy League since I started covering it closely in 2002. The Harvard 2011 entering cohort was extremely good (Saunders, Steve, Jonah, Corbin, Kenyatta), but I've never seen anything like what Harvard brought in this year.

I think they'll be juniors when they hit the Top 25. The junior class is extremely weak, so there won't be much help from the seniors next year. The sophomore class has a couple pieces in TMac and Corey, but generally won't carry the team either. And I don't expect a ton out of the gate from the 2017 class - a couple rotation players, but no immediate stars.

When the current frosh are juniors in 18-19 with solid rotation support from the then-sophomore 2017 class and the then-senior 2015 class and what is shaping up to be another big, deep 2018 class - that's when we should really see this Harvard team make a national run. Not that they won't be very good next year, but when we're talking about the lofty levels of the 11-12 and 13-14 teams, I think Harvard is looking more at 18-19 for that.
