I may get hate mail for this, but I don't see us competing at the highest level given the current culture and state of HS and college Bball regardless of the coach.  Oh, we may have some runs with phenomenal twins, but how often can that happen, realistically?  One and done doesn't work for us.  Neither does two and done.

Ahh, I remember when people said the state of high school and college football meant we would never be able to compete in that either.

Our recruiting classes recently are showing that getting talent to Stanford is not the issue.  Humphreys, Travis, and Cartwright were all four star players in the rivals top 100.  Sharma, Walker, and Sheffield are also all Rivals 4 stars with only Sheffield outside the top 100 (at 103).  We've also been putting guys into the NBA recently, another good sign that there is enough talent.

Maybe it's not reasonable to expect Stanford to be #1 in the country anymore, but I think it's reasonable to expect them to be in the top four of the conference with some consistency...
