Could next year be Izzo's most talented team ever?

How is Appling only a 4*? I don't follow the recruiting rankings but I only know what I've seen. He is the most talented high school guard Izzo has ever recruited. So much more polished then Cleaves, Bell, Taylor, Neitzel, Lucas at the same age. Maybe he'll be 5* by the end of the season. Also, with Payne's commitment, Nix and Sherman could be fighting to keep the redshirt off next year. It will be interesting to see who is most ready to play this season.

As far as next year being the most talented team, let's wait and see who is around and who is healthy. I'm sure a year before the 2001-2002 team we were drooling over having a roster with Richardson, Randolph, Anagonye, Taylor, Hill, Anderson, Torbert, Ballinger, Wolfe. The two best players leave, the PG goes all eyez on me, and Torbert isn't the second coming like everybody thought.
