Mind you, we just signed one of the better basketball classes we have had for '11.

I'm not trying to be an ass but by what standard are you basing this statement? You very well may turn out to be right four years from now but there is nothing on any recruiting site that would lead one to this conclusion.

Obviously with 5 guys verbaled, it is a deep class. I don't know if it will turn out to be the best, but on paper at least, it would seem to be one of the better classes UNI has had in my memory. If you want to quantify it or something, I guess you could go by stars or rankings of the guys. I don't really remember a class that equals what this class has, but I could be wrong. No superstars, but a deep, quality class of guys. That's what the UNI system is built for.

My thoughts exactly. BJ is recruiting with a systematic purpose.

Seth Tuttle, a 6'8 forward in UNI's '11 class is also said to be a steal. We got a verbal out of him early on, and some say he would have gotten some big BCS offers had we waited longer. His AAU coach says he may be a better player than two of his teammates who are ranked in the top 150 nationally.

Also the PG that we received a commit from a few weeks ago, reportedly had offers from Marquette, Baylor, and possibly Arizona. He is a guy that should be able to come in and play/start immediately.

And to round out the class, we got a good shooter in Bohannon, another solid bruiser/defender in Marvin Singleton, and another slashing scoring guard in Jevon Lyle.
