Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 239980, member: 405"] Great post. Thanks for sharing. Prior to the Elite Camp, which I agree has been tremendous, and has changed our recruiting process, I don't think we were quite so great at recruiting to the system for a few years. Post-2003, we had some guys who didn't fit the usual profile like Dayshawn Wright - undersized PF, Paul Harris - undersized PF who had some wing / Stevie Thompson kind of skills, but was never deployed that way on offense. Jonny Flynn was undersized compared to the kind of guys we usually like at PG (bigger, taller guys, usually). I think the recruiting has gotten a lot more targeted since the Harris / Flynn group passed thru - those guys got us reconnected to McDonald's AA's, so that part was necessary and good for our profile, but it was only with our return to prominence (and recovery from a couple NITs) that we really started choosing the best fits for the system, IMO.
