And I don't think you're wrong at all. But did you know a guy like Maynor (anyone similar to him - low ranking) was going to be that good?

and yes, you are right again. it is just basketball. but for 2:30, it was my life. i have 6 months to have a real like now though.

I know good players slip through the cracks all the time, but don't you find it odd that VCU seems to have good players on their roster year after year (BA Walker, Pellot-Rosa, Eric Maynor). I mean Jeff Capel recruited all of those guys and obviously with his background in North Carolina he has recruiting contacts. Maybe Duke needs to get rid of either Collins or Wojo and bring someone in who is a better recruiter. I remember when Duke got guys who were under the radar but who could play.

They don't all have to be Burger Boys.

"Good players" don't get recruited by Duke. K's too snobbish. But I agree. I also agree that they need someone new on the staff. Wojo big man coach = no legit big man wants to go.

Duke definitely has clout to pull in top recruits. Just remember the situation is different every year.

It used to be that Duke with it's high entrance requirements wasn't a likely spot for the one and done's. Those flashy one and done's went to programs like UNLV or UConn. Then the transition because I believe the pressure to win it all every year came through to a head. You couldn't afford to not chase players that might make that jump to the pros and bypass college.

Some schools are just not making the switch to the 13 scholarship from 15. Have to be more careful with your offers when you don't know how many spots you'll have.

This is getting ugly for K.state

imagine if they hadn't goofed on Patrick Patterson. Like essbee said, K's "number one in would have been recruiting though"
