The class of 2011 next major push

I think we're getting very close to completing the class of 2011. I suspect that the final major push will be for Mike Shaw or Anthony Davis at the 4. Then the coaching staff will hold one open for Chasson Randle (or Sam Thompson if something truly surprising happens and he wants to commit), but roll it to 2012 if that doesn't pan out. Frankly, I think it would be better to give four in 2011 and hold two for 2012, but I recognize that the staff can't pass on great talent if guys want to commit in 2011, so five in 2011 is not illogical if five top-flight recruits want to wear orange and blue. As Fever famously has observed, take pie while pie's passing. But I can't imagine that the staff will take six in 2011 unless something really astonishing happens in terms of five-star talents all wanting to sign up with UI.
