According to Jeff Rabjohns we could get a 2019 guard

Says Penn State, Rutgers, Iowa, Wisconsin, OSU, etc. Oh, and TJD and Lander would qualify as top 50 players. There isn't a whole lot of difference between the players rated outside the 5*-150, other than exposure. What this team needs is continuity. Upperclassmen with the right character build the program. When your upperclassmen and best players are your hardest working players and leaders, you tend to have a solid program. We will start to see the effects of that next year (if the season gets played). What did all the contending teams in the B10 have in common last year? Upperclassmen PG and at least one solid upperclass big. A team is only as strong as its weakest link, and top 50 doesn't matter if they aren't a team player.

We need multiple top 50 players to contend for the big ten.
 
I'm sure the best player on the undefeated #1 Class 4A team (and Mr. Basketball) is WAYYYY behind those guys ranked in the top 100 ahead of him. No chance he turns out to be a B10 level player, right? JR Holmes is notorious for producing horrible players. That's why he is in the HoF, right? Seriously, any IU fan disappointed with this recruiting class doesn't like the type of players Villanova and Virginia built programs around. The ONLY downsides to the class are missing a lock down shooter or a true big. There were very few D1 ready shooters, and I'm glad nobody was a reach.
Not many true bigs anyway. 3 guard offense. We do need a 35-40% shooter. Hoping someone comes in to do that.

Usually guys in the 150 range are missing something in their game. Example: victor was already a great defender just hadn’t developed a shot. Same with OG. That kept them outside the top 100. We all know how that turned out.
 
You have to recruit top 50 players flash in the pan guys like OG and Victor come around once a blue moon. Our most successful teams lately were top 50 players like Zeller, Watford, Yogi, Williams, Blackmon, Bryant, Vonleh, Johnson.
