Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 1968557, member: 5429"] Our M.O. for recruiting top guys has been - to get involved before they become top guys, then try to hold on for dear life as the Duke's and UK's of the world come calling later. Carmelo is the poster boy for this, but guys like Dion and MCW fit the mold too. Green appeared to be the next one, but... We generally don't win straight up against Duke or UK, which is why historically, JB didn't go after those kinda guys, or punted when it became clear that we were running a distant 2nd or 3rd behind a bigger name program. This year - we went after a LOT of the top guys. Which is something many of us, myself included, have been wanting us to do for YEARS. Unfortunately, it didn't pan out. This time. [/QUOTE]
