re: Shea says to not be surprised if Cai Bates doesn't end up in this class

Caveat - I know recruiting hasn't been bad but I think there was some real expectations that we'd land in the top 5 year consistently once we got BK.

Kelly's really only had one full and final year of recruiting, 2023, and we had the #5 class. Even with only 2 months of time to recruit in 2022 we still ended up with the #7 class overall. It would take a lot but we could still be in top 5 by the end of this year.

We definitely have to do better in recruiting certain positions but overall I wouldn't say our recruiting has taken a major decline or improvement since Kelly took over. Appears to be generally in line with where we typically end up.
