Best programs at developing talent

 

[3uconn]

It doesn't mention UConn at all.

Well that's what you get when Goodman starts writing articles for ESPN.

I can summarize Jeff Goodman in 2 words................ he sucks. Always has.

 

[huskiesnyc]

He pretty much mentions every program that is not good at developing talent

 

[upstater]

He pretty much mentions every program that is not good at developing talent

I can't help but noticing that the teams listed were pretty Catholic with lots of white kids. Did he use the old "natural" athleticism versus "developed" skills filter to write that?

"There’s no simple way to measure the best programs at evaluating and developing talent, but here are 10 that have stood out lately. "

Worthless.

 

[Husky1964]

Laughable!!! Six to seven of those teams will never win the big one. At least he did not name the Cuse, oh I forgot Jimmy heads the list of doing the least with the talent. Developing no one. By the way where did Southerland go in the Draft?

That's funny .......lots of their guys earning big paychecks in the next level......Marquette may be the best of the bunch.......

What does Goodman require to be a "talent developing program"?? He's a dope as always!!

 

[BoatShow]

From the looks of the article its more about turning riffraffy college players into okay colleges than turning okay college players into pros, which is why UConn wasn't mentioned.

There is a whole lot of white in that list.

 

[UConn5]

He should have said best coaches, then perhaps he could have justified leaving UConn off that list. But when you say best programs and your colleague (Eamon Brennan) is sitting there writing about the programs that are the best at putting kids in the pros and you leave off many of those program you look like an idiot.

There is no simple way to measure the best programs at evaluating and developing talent so here are 10 random teams that have put a guy or 2 in the NBA! Sorry Lehigh, Georgia, New Mexico and all the others, I missed you on the dart board.

 

[champs99and04]

Marquette is the only one on that list I can justify being there. Other than that, he should re-name the list "programs that do the best job masking the flaws of slow white guys and getting them open looks from three".

 

[seanmc94]

I could make the argument for every program there; sort of...except for Colorado. I'm I missing something?

 

[Senore]

That has to be one of the most grotesquely wrong articles in the history of Wrong.

Bear in mind, Goodman was famous in Louisville circles as laughing and pointing at us when we were so ecstatic about Georgui Dieng being declared eligible as a freshman.

It's truly sad when Louisville fans are celebrating the eligibility of Gorgui Dieng. It's Gorgui Dieng. Then again, Pitino needs bodies.
Louisville fans: I am happy for Gorgui Dieng; just meant that it's sad what it's come to that fans are celebrating as if it's a superstar.
