I don't believe that's what I said, but if it was, that wasn't my intention. Getting 6 quality freshman is a difficult task for just about any school, and I certainly don't think we'll have the kind of success UK has in year one. If we can, however, get 6 quality freshman, I'm all for it. My only point in bringing up blue blood schools was to show that true freshmen are consistently contributing to championship caliber teams. We won't have a championship caliber team, so there's all the more opportunity for them to contribute. Unlike teams like UK, we won't be all or nothing with our freshmen. Most of them, if not all, will be back.
Even at OU, we've had significant contributions from freshmen on most of our NCAA tournament teams over the past decade. Whether it be Young and Manek last year, Blake, WW, Buddy, Woodard, etc. I might be wrong on this one, but wasn't Lattin a freshman on that final 4 team?
