First, we've had have limited success once players made NBA. Bing/Melo are borderline HOF, but lots of 1st round busts. Coleman/Seikley were OK but could have been better. Sherman was actually better than I remembered. Guess he was so money in college an average NBA career was a disappointment. Of course you can discuss this all in much more detail, and compare to other schools. I think one positive takeaway is recruits see all the 1st round picks. Sure, many flame out. But they get drafted, and get the opportunity. If you don't get drafted, it is nearly impossible to ever play in the NBA, so you need that first step. [/QUOTE]
