Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 3745179, member: 966"] Gotta have a great coach with the right personality who plays an attractive style and gets surprising results to begin with and then consistent results afterward and isn't a flavor of the month and can communicate to/relate with the kinds of recruits who will buy into a system that makes sense and is self-fulfilling. Coaching staff has to evaluate extremely well, and then develop extremely well, to be able to pluck out solid talents, and not have a wide chasm between starters and projects. Solid players who buy into intelligence, fundamentals, defense, and work. A lot of it really has to do with a culture. That said, there aren't many of these, so it's obviously a matter of catching lightning in a bottle. But, you do have to set a culture standard, and not just get kids who are excited about playing in front of the biggest audience. [/QUOTE]
