[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1607497, member: 590800"] Absolutely love it. For those who don't think rankings matter, go look at any Instagram or other social media feed of a generic college basketball page. I don't say this to be mean (we were all young once!), but there are literally millions of impressionable young college basketball fans who know VERY little about history/tradition of programs, and they are forming their impressions of the "good programs" right now. While I might have grown up thinking a program like Wake Forest was "usually good," kids these days have literally no idea someone like Chris Paul was ever there and just think of them as a bottom-of-the-ACC program. This includes future recruits, and it is AWESOME seeing post after post talking about how good Illinois is. :) [/QUOTE]
