Hoops class balance

The bottom line is this: With a total of 13 scholarship spots on the roster, it isn't an especially good idea to use five on a single class. Therefore, going on the assumption that, as a general rule, the staff would rather spread out the scholarships more evenly, I no longer will be surprised if the class of 2011 includes only four recruits. And if a couple of the really talented 2012 recruits are ready to jump early, there's an outside chance that the class of 2011 will have only three recruits.
