How are backwater schools in Alabama and throughout the SEC going to appeal to kids from Baltimore or Brooklyn when they have no tradition to sell themselves with along with the fact that no one will really care about their team or their careers. We are lucky to be on the edge of a great recruiting area and to have the basketball equivalent of the history and tradition and fan base of these football factories. Sure they may have a few home grown talents but it isn't enough for them to compete yearly with Duke, Carolina and the Big East. It's likely the same problem we have with football.
