Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3585835, member: 9403"] What I find most interesting is that the two schools with the most top 100 recruits, Duke and Stanford, are probably two of the only schools where I'd be relatively sanguine about riding the bench even though I could easily start at a slightly less competitive D1 school. For both, those recruits are walking away with a free degree from one of the tippy top universities in the country, with a pathway to professional schools, start-ups, consulting, banking, and other lucrative non-athletic professional careers. UConn, by contrast, has fewer Top 100 recruits than Stanford but triple the top 10, which makes sense: if your realistic goal is to be a top pro prospect, there's no better place to go. In this sense, I really wasn't too upset when KLS picked UConn over Stanford, because it was clear she was much more focused on becoming a WNBA player than either of her sisters. Whereas Duke and its ten top 10 recruits and almost no notable post-season to show for it is, uh, a head-scratcher. Any insights, [USER=378]@triaddukefan[/USER]? [/QUOTE]
