Pierce, Robinson, and Butler will be solid college players, but all "good" recruits are not created equal. We have some dudes coming in next year that will change our team for the better right away. Boatang is a stud on the wing - I doubt he'll score 20 points a game as a freshman, but he has an element that none of our young guys have. Marshall is a massive (strong and heavy) 7-footer who is going to be a problem in the low post on both sides. Burns is an athletic 7-2 guy. We don't have those guys on our roster right now.
