Message: [QUOTE="orange2win, post: 1035621, member: 849"] I get your point, but I take issue with it. The top rated recruits in the country, as defined by Rivals, Scout, ESPN, etc., for the most part do not have SU on their list. Why? Because when you are that good, you are expecting to be an NBA lottery pick and these super talents do not want to play [U]zone[/U] in prep for the NBA. We sometimes get the best of the rest and JB, with nearly 40 years doing it, has a good eye for it. So our lower rated kids often turn to be nearly as good. My frustration is that with some changes we could be getting the top talent every year and thus be vying for the National Championship. Of course the associated high turnover brings its own headaches. Also, any kid who is half decent these days, will jump early and most will never make it in the NBA. VG seniors are the preferred route and it can still be done that way, but hard to predict who will stay and mature to the required level. [/QUOTE]
