Nice work. Wonder how these teams finished in the B1G those years as well.

Thanks, if you average it out it gets a bit interesting.

Pitinos average national class rank while here was 53.25.

If the making the tourney was based on the talent you recruit alone, we should have been in the tourney each year (if people understand what I'm trying to say).

His B1G class average ranked 7.8 and there are 14 teams in our conference.

That's kinda wild because it's almost at the 50% mark ranking wise.

Again, these are averages I just took. But the numbers and results are interesting to analyze.

Do we set this as the "recruiting" bar for Ben as far as, can he recruit better? Not wins and loses, just hey, he's getting better classes.

I don't think that math is quite right. Taking account of all the automatic qualifiers for smaller conferences, there are only 42 spots available to P6 teams (36 at-large and 6 AQs).

What if his recruits win more games no matter the rankings !

Not true. You're forgetting about all the automatic bids. Most of those would have recruiting rankings below #53. There aren't 53 at large bids available in the NCAA tournament.
