Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 711230, member: 405"] I think one of the most important things in our recruiting turnaround was that we seemed to not just get highly rated kids, but kids from winning HS programs. Not just the kid who did well at the AAU camps in the summer, but the ones that played on prep or state championship teams. We've seen lots of pairs and threes of kids who grew up playing together. They weren't always "package deals" in any official sense, but we've seen good players and brought in teammates all of whom are talented and know how to win together. It's like we have a built-in chemistry advantage when we do that. I think that that type of recruiting, as well as getting more high character, lower maintenance guys creates a good atmosphere. Mutual respect, trust, everyone contributes, everyone is good. Everyone's a winner. [/QUOTE]
