The recruiting class of 2006 is the only Tulsa class that included two future NBA players, and it should have led to a return to the success of the previous decade. Larry Lewis breaks down his No. 4 pick of Tulsa's Top Basketball Recruiting Classes.

I guess it depends on how you evaluate a class. Personally, I would evaluate it based on how it translated to success for TU. Hard to pick a class 4th that never made an NCAA Tournament.

I agree to a point. But looking solely at talent, this 2006 class had it. Unfortunately, the coach squandered and miss used it.

All great points. The class revived TU basketball. Too bad the coaching wasn't better. The players were too good to leave off the list. But I'm not totally sure it was the right choice. One class in particular I wish I could have included.
