We likely won't have the players.

Granted that one special player can make the difference between top 25 and bottom and <50., so a JUCO, or a transfer, or a diamond in the rough recruit can make a major difference. Unfortunately that can also go the other way as well.
Playing style and strategy can make a difference as well

However, ultimately it still comes down to "Jimmys and Joes", and based on our recruiting, to expect ODU to be top 75 anytime soon, without a Freeman or Bazemore, is unrealistic.

ODU recruiting class rank by 247 sports

2017 - 87
2016 - 108
2015 - 125
2014 - 170

Those recruiting rankings don't include Stith(2x), Porter, or McClinton.

If you used their recruiting rankings, where would ODU rank?
