Recruiting vs. Coaching

[Amase2]

Go hard at guys ranked in the 25-150 range that you think fit your program and develop them. That's a gr8 formula.

Josh Hart - ranked in the 90's. Offers from Rutgers, Siena and St. Joe's. He's doing all right.
Darrun Hilliard - unranked 3 star player. He turned out well as an upper classman.
James Bell - ranked in the 70's. Rode pine his first two years, but by his jr year he was very good
Dante Cunningham - unranked 3 star player. Minor contributor early, but main guy on a final four team and still in the NBA as he developed
Randy Foye - ranked in the 70's. Drafted in the top 7 after his senior yr.

A guy ranked 75 as a 23 year old who knows your system, or a guy ranked 12 as 19 year old trying to figure things out. Which is better? Could go either way I guess, but both methods work.

This is why I think it is so crucial for Seton Hall to have some success this year. Get this kids ready for their junior and senior year, get Willard some stability so he can recruit the next wave, and that program can do well.

Great post, agree with you re Hall. Need at least 3-4ths of their big 4 to comeback.
