There is regional vs national recruiting and of course the argument of a 6 hour halo and how it plays into coaching decisions.  For example Jones brings in five 4 star athletes for a position ... or even multiple positions ... if those players are even in potential and ability usually the player within that radius or in alignment with a certain member of the staff is given preference ... this was the argument Ishaq's father used when talking to NYC kids about SU vs other schools and why SU gives them an advantage.  You don't crap in your own backyard so kids closer to home get preference.

IMHO opinion a guy like Brown can contribute at a lot of schools and be an upgrade for them, he was pulled in by a new staff to fill what they felt might be a need at a power program ... only I don't think even Jones would have expected them to get 37 recruits the following cycle ... Brown at some programs would be a solid contributor ... in a pool of 4 stars (which SU doesn't have) his chances are slim that he would get substantial playing time.
