Message: [QUOTE="A10 fan, post: 3121614, member: 3154"] Reading comprehension will get you far. I said as those programs were 30 years ago, not now. 30 years ago those programs were 15 or so years removed from being among the powers in eastern basketball. It meant nothing to recruits then, and Louie means nothing to recruits now. I doubt that Houston is now rolling because of what Guy Lewis did, and for what it's worth, Houston in the 80s, was quite a bit better than St. John's was in the same era. Holy Cross, and San Fran fit nicely into my point, as does LaSalle. Hell, I could have added Pitt, and Syracuse football, and La. Tech women's hoops to the list of has been programs that no one cares about anymore. The point being, that kids care about who's on top now, not who was on top 15, 30, 50 years ago. Wichita St., and Xavier ring bells with the kids, St. John's and DePaul excite the over 50 crowd. Unfortunately, the over 50 crowd doesn't have any eligibility left. [/QUOTE]
