Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2656850, member: 966"] Having a bunch of top 5 recruiting classes filled with the best 20 rated high schoolers typically ensures you’re going to be ranked highly in the AP all year, compete at the top of your league, stay away from the bubble, and get a high tournament seed. Those are all measures of team quality, and are components of a positive feedback machine toward continuing that entire sequence. Faring well with within that tournament is another, different measure of team quality. The weight of which type of performance isn’t more important sorta depends on which one your team is getting. I don’t know how good of a coach Cal is. Can’t say he’s “bad” because he does get the players, he does well with them during the season, they all buy into their roles, and they move on and do very well in the pros. He’s not hurting them, and by all accounts, their training/practices only increase/conform the players’ respect for him. [/QUOTE]
