Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 294991, member: 230"] I used to think that the hard part of recruiting is t0 get your prospect to sign, and 2) finding a diamond in the rough if you get aced out. Without thinking, I assumed that coaches basically went for the highest ranked players by position that they think they might land. Looking at this board and all the players of interest brings home the point that it is just as hard to pick the right player as any other aspect of recruiting. Aside from the top handful, that clearly stand out, the top 50 rankings are of virtually no help in deciding who to offer. I'm pretty sure that any player offered by one of the top programs automatically moves up in the rankings. I surmise that Boeheim now has the necessary prestige to move the rankings needle. Aside from a handful, the top 50 should be thought of as a group, without too much internal ordering. The internal rankings within the top 50 are just static that coaches should ignore. [/QUOTE]
