I think the four main factors that laid the groundwork for our success from 09 to 14 were 1) the 2003 natty; 2) Melo's initial success in the NBA; 3) the strength of the Big East being back to the league's strength from 1982-91 with the substractions of VT, Miami, and BC and the gains of Louisville, Marquette, and Cincy starting in 2005-06; [B][U][I]and[/I][/U][/B] 4) JB being assistant coach to Coach K on the United States men's basketball teams starting in 2006.   Those four factors all helped give the program a boost in recruiting in my mind.  Add those factors to sdcuseguy's post and we have a better understanding of where we are now as a program vs where we once were from 86-91 and 09-14.   Like others, I hope JB somehow gets his second natty before he retires but the future health of the program overall will depend on the coaching hire(s) after him.  I use the plural because we may not make a homerun hire out of the gate.

Fascinating thread SU fans.  One of the better ones I have seen on this board in a while.

Cheers,
