Eh, I don't buy this. This is one of those things that's easy to say and sounds good but strikes me as an oversimplification. I think there are plenty of factors. One is that some of the mid-majors have pretty good facilities, are on TV far more often than they were before and have found themselves good coaches who take advantage of technology in finding talented players. In other words, I'm not sure the gap between the big boys and the mid-majors is due to any one thing. I mean, if it was just one-and-dones than it would stand to reason the teams helped the most would be teams like seton hall or st johns or BC, etc. who are getting good talent but not as many one-and-done types. 
 
You have good facilities, like Butler, can recruit in places other than your back yard (which may have been the case a bit more before the massive growth of the AAU circuit and the internet), have a good coach that you can keep around (few, stevens, shaka smart, etc) and you can compete.
