Message: [QUOTE="Vowelguy, post: 3143154, member: 59"] Could be a few things. 1) Go back to Geno's highly publicized comments from the F4 a few years ago, in which he says that more and more kids "want to be cool" (as opposed to great BB players), because that's the culture today around sports. I dont think athletes have quite the same stature in Europe. 2) It's possible that some int'l players are a bit more mature, since they are already playing on big-time teams. 3) It could also just be the new trend and both coaches are on to it. Geno never showed much interest in transfers either. But he changed his thinking recently. Now there may be a stronger crop of foreign players than there had been previously. 4) Or just a necessary alternative given increased recruiting competition within the states? [/QUOTE]
