MCW and Tyler Ennis are cashing big paychecks in the NBA and Tyus Battle might go in the lottery next year.  We've gotten our fair share of elite level guard talent in recent years.

If fans want us to recruit like Duke or Kentucky, then they're not being realistic.  We're not going to compete with those two schools in recruiting.  The good news is teams don't need to recruit like them to be successful.  Both have embraced the OAD model and get the big recruits as a result.  That's not our model, and there are plenty of recruits willing to play zone so that they can play at one of the top 10 NCAA programs all-time, for a HOF coach.  I doubt the zone hurts us as much as the success as a result of the zone has helped us.

m2m defense is not hard to coach or learn and playing zone for a year or two, in which you're playing m2m over half the time anyway, doesn't  make a player incapable of playing m2m defense that he's played for 90% of his life up to that point.
