Message: [QUOTE="DeGrozz, post: 3020628, member: 205"] I'm sorry - but what I said was that you were much more likely to get an elite player if that player is highly rated. Yes, some kids unranked or two stars may blow-up and be huge, and even be a top-3 pick, but there are hundreds if not thousands of those lower rated guys every year, the Ja Morants are the rare exception, not the rule. You responded with ridiculous "alternative facts" to try to dispute that, which I called out. Everyone knows that a two-star can blow up and be a draft pick. We've seen it with some of our own players (Rautins, for example). But if you are arguing that we should be content if we keep getting needle in a haystack type players, I don't think that is a good long-term recruiting strategy. I'm sure some people on this board still have Scott Shafer's number -- you could probably get in contact with him and see how diamond in the rough recruiting plans work out. [/QUOTE]
