Message: [QUOTE="CONNMAN98, post: 2131638, member: 6150"] UConn now gets virtually all the VERY BEST players they want, but that comes with having the best coach with the best program. There are so many ways we can analyze numbers to fit our point of view. I feel that having that one transcendent player is most important for success. I would probably take a team with the players ranked #1, 20, 80, 90 and 100 over a team with players ranked # 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30, as long as that #1 is a Maya or Breanna type! Using HoopGurlz as a previous poster did, let's look at the very top recruits. From 2007-2017 (Maya to Megan) UConn has had 5 of the 11 #1's play for them. Baylor with 2 is the only other school with more than one. If you take the top 2 from each year (22 in total) UConn has had 6 and Tenn had 3. Top 3's is Conn-7 and Tenn-6. Tenn overtakes UConn with having more top 5's by a 10 to 7 margin. So in getting the very very top player, Conn are definitely getting those players now more than anyone. But mainly due to Geno's great success in the first place! [/QUOTE]
