[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1409756, member: 7292"] I assume you mean last year, as we do not know what his next class would have been. I do not think they would have been favored to go in the tournament but would have better than last year's team. Speaking of Groce, I thought he started very promising, overachieved in his first year, motivated, quickly got into highly ranked recruitments out of nowhere (e.g., Nunn, DJax, Snider), there was an overall aura of expected success and optimism. In retrospect, recruiting-wise there was an inflection point that Groce never recovered from. In a single week, he was delivered two very quick (national) knockout punches (i.e., Cliff, Snider) and he never seemed to be able to get up on his feet after that. He was never the same IMO, he lost that early momentum. By the time he was able to get up for his next fight (i.e., Frazier, Tilmon - finally delivering on his main two positional gaps) it was too late. [/QUOTE]
