Hmmm, not sure how to advance this conversation.  First off, you didn't go back 5 years you went back 3 and forward 2.

But my original post was defending the comment made or implied by Adrielle that Gonzaga was cheating.  Also, my comment was about the 20 year sustained run (NCAA tourneys).  They have consistently made the tourney and advanced (10 years running) with lower ranked classes than are assumed.

I agree that the next two years will be very highly ranked recruits but they haven't played a game yet.  My contention was that for the last 20 it has been similart to BYU.  Gonzaga had a lot of things go right to help it too, including good old fashioned luck.

Lastly, I realize that I'm a guest on this board and don't want to ruffle feathers.  I'm not a trash talker and always root for fellow WCC teams.  So if I"m being disrespectful, I apologize.  I'm not sure we're disagreeing as much as talking about slightly different things.  

Good luck on Saturday.
