Personally I think he is better at developing players.  Rarely is his recruiting better than Syracuse's in terms of the rankings.  But they are dominant almost every season.  He isn't putting as many first round draft picks and such into the league as Syracuse is but our guys are bolting the first chance they get.  Staying in 100% zone must play into this, imo.  Scouts and agents are in these kids' ears who are considering declaring for the draft constantly throwing in the Syracuse 100% zone/NBA translation issue.  I think our guys who always leave after a year consider this and don't want to stay in this system.  It's part of the reasons I'm convinced.

The development of Louisville guys going into their soph or second year in the system is pretty staggering.  Rozier, Onuaku, Donovan Mitchell, Mahmoud, Montresz Harrell, Deng Adel, etc.  All guys you have to guard and pay attention to.  Good fundamentals too.  Those two grad transfers blended in seamlessly two years ago when they banned themselves and were looking like a dominant team.
