Jb hasn't had the top 10 players that other schools have either.
You can't argue guys like Boozer and Irving. Irving was the number one recruit coming into college. Boozer was a Senior stud. Grant Hill could have been one of the best ever had he not got hurt. We didn't have Amare, or John Wall for that matter.
 
1. Paul Harris didn't fit a position.
2. Johnny Flynn was smaller not so physical and not a great jumpshooter.
3.Guys like Melo and Bing were studs you could ride on offense.
4. Warrick and Rautins weren't even picked to make the NBA.
 
Guys like Gmac, Nichols, Edelin Warrick and Pearl Washington were College studs you couldn't ask much more from. [B]You could ride them offensively but they weren't all americans.[/B]
 
The last player JB recurited we could ride on offense was Melo in 2003 and we all know how that went. After him maybe MCW.
Flynn, Harris, Fab, Xmas, Nichols, Gerry were not known to take over AAU games. none were one and done offensive talents.
 
Also just like every other team it takes 5 guys to play defense. Some years JB's D has 3 position weaknesses others it has had 1.5 to 2, a very rare year maybe even .5 to 1.
If you want to talk NBA players then Coach K isn't a great coach despite winning a title two years ago with mediocre talent and good defensive balence. [B]If you are going to exclude JB on top talent then exclude Coach K when he gets some to.[/B]
