Well

Sure rankings are subjective, but its a lot cooler to be considered to have a top class than to not have one, I guess.

I don't know if you can really call Kansas' recruiting "efficient"...first of all what does that mean? If you mean more "bang for the buck", I would have to go with UNC...they got players at all 5 positions (everything I hear says that Graves is a 2/3, even if he is kinda heavy right now) while, according to scout and most other recruiters, Kansas '05 is a PG and 3 SFs...which is cool, I guess. Somebody can play the 2 I'm sure.

You can't even really say that Kansas' players will stay in school longer considering Rush had been at least flirting w/ the NBA and the logjam KU will have at Point will probably force at least one (more) person to transfer out. I think most people think Wright is one and done and possibly Hansborough if he has a good enough year, but that's ok if these guys are anywhere close to as good as advertised. We'll see.

At any rate, this thread wasn't about Kansas, but UNC v. OSU for this year. I think it is a given that with all the hype surrounding the recruiting classes, next year's ACC/Big 10 challenge will feature a UNC v. OSU game which I think will be pretty cool to see...settle it on the court.

As for this year, we'll see. I think that Roy has proven himself a good enough coach that all the people who think we will be 8-20 again are just haters. Outside of Duke and BC, everyone in the conference took a hit. VT and Miami are solid, but they didn't really add anyone and they were 2nd tier teams last season. I still want to know who is going to shoot the ball for wake considering the best shooter also has to bring the ball up and defend the other team's point. Gray and Williams are good and all, but IMHO the supporting cast is somewhat lacking. Losing Paul and Downey will hurt, but the PG Dukes is supposed to be pretty good and Wake will have a lot of size. The real question I guess is will they be able to defend anyone finally?
