Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 3598291, member: 5429"] NONE of those guys was a 5* recruit. Last true 5* guy we’ve had was Melo. He’s done kinda OK for himself. Those Top 10 guys that K and Cal get, are successful in the NBA because - they were really, REALLY good at hoops before they ever got to college - if you get multiple Top 10 guys nearly every year, odds are at least some will pan out. The whole Kentucky & Duke “prepare guys for the NBA” is a crock. JB’s guys who make it to the NBA are typically in the 25-75 range as ‘croots. aka hardly a lock for NBA, at all. Much less to be studs there While we’d LOVE to get a Top 10 guy now and again (JB WON IT ALL the last time he did), there are a lot more guys in the 25-75 range, and a much better chance of getting them.
