Marshall's best recruiting class

[wufan]

Thought it might be fun to take a look at all of the recruiting classes HCGM has had at Wichita State, and maybe rank them. For the purpose of this thread, the recruiting class will be determined by when the player enrolled at WSU, and will only count those players that played at WSU. Please correct me if/when I make an error.

I'd say the class of Cotton, Baker, Wessel, Carl Hall, & White would have to be number 1.

The 2010-11 class is the only class we brought in where all players matriculated. It's also the only class where all players were JUCO transfers.

The 2009-10 class was all freshman and saw 3 of 4 players transfer. Probably HCGMs worst class at WSU where only Demetric Williams stuck around past his 1st year on the court.

The 2011-12 class (Armstead, Baker, Cotton, Wessel, Hall) and 2012-13 class (VanVleet, Early, Lufile), and 2008-09 class (Hannah, Kyles, Murry, Stutz) were spectacular classes producing three All-Americans, 1 MVC POY, one DPOY, and several All-Conference first and second team players.
