Long story short, Pitino's a very good coach in terms of player development. I don't know why he doesn't recruit better, but it's impressive that he wins consistently with the players he gets.
Pitino doesn't recruit "better" because he looks for kids he can teach and mold, not necessarily "blue-chippers" who likely won't stay 4 years. Hence he gets longer in-program consistency.
