Just to clarify, my point was not that we don't have a highly regarded recruiting class coming in. My point was that we've had several highly regarded recruiting classes come in over the last decade (see: Steckell and Umberger) and have never won a CCHA championship with any of them, so forgive me for having a hearty amount of skepticism as to how this class will be any different.
The other issue is that when we do get highly touted recruits, their talent development seems to stagnate after their freshmen year. Again, Steckell and Umberger are perfect examples.
I'm a big fan of what Casey has been able to do as recruiting director. My problem is with how these recruits have been developed upon arriving in Columbus.
