I’m sure you’re aware that they recruit to and for a certain system just like Boeheim does.  They aren’t worried about length.  I think they care about gritty ball handlers with multiple skill sets.  Guys who will excel in M2M.  One cannot deny that during Villanova’s current run of excellent play on the court; they have had a better collection of guards who handle the ball better, who are quicker, and with better skill sets than our guys despite the overall recruiting rankings differences which seem to indicate that Syracuse generally recruits better in terms of incoming talent.  They get their guys to stay longer and develop better while our raw guys with the NBA measurables bolt the first chance they get.  I worry about our current collection of overall guard talent trying to emulate the Villanova style of offense.  Sidibe has a chance to be a better Ochefu-type of C though.  Frank doesn’t look like he could make it off the bench for a good Villanova team.  Tyus can play anywhere.

Recruiting is an inexact science but I like how they have built continuity more than we have.  Of course their system allows it more I think by not relying on the damn zone which caters to length and attractive NBA measurables.  Oh, and we could’ve had Jalen Brunson .

I think the more deeper issue is how we can get our more talented players (who are often still raw/limited) to stay in school a little longer.
