Look what happened when Taylor left earlier than expected. It honestly set us back 2 years since we didn't have a true pg, even though our other positions were good.
I know Izzo shouldn't just recruit a position, but also a player. 7 sweet 16's in 11 years or whatever... I know Izzo is awesome and this is probably me just being a pessimist. The unevenness is our classes makes me uneasy a bit though.

When/if Appling comes in, Lucas/Summers/Allen are juniors and Lucious is a sophomore. We aren't going to be recruiting another guard past Strickland for 09. Just aren't any targets on the horizon. If you look at the offers and listen to the people talking, we're only looking at 3s, 4s, and 5s.
