Message: [QUOTE="Nicknack, post: 4751798, member: 1003"] I'm curious how you come to that conclusion. I think most recruits are smart enough to know if they're a top 20 recruit, a program isn't what will propel them to the NBA. It's about exposure, playing time, and fit. The blue bloods are about prestige. I don't blame a kid for wanting to play for Duke, Kentucky or Kansas. But to think that going there will help them get into the nba over going to a place like Syracuse is ridiculous. Just take a scroll down the list of the latest nba draft. It proves my point. 1.
