Message: [QUOTE="MuchoDogYears, post: 3671404, member: 5395"] To me, and it’s just me opining, I believe that year after year the top 20 players coming out of HS all go to a school in a major BB conference. Whether or not being in the AAC vs the BE has made a difference for Hurley when recruiting we don’t have hard empirical evidence to back either position. However there is no denying the hard empirical evidence that every year the 5 star players, at least those in the top 20, all go to one of the schools in the top BB conferences. Which conclusively indicates that conference is a primary factor for these level of players. A 3 and 4 star player has been more open to going to other conferences but not the 5 star. Duke is Duke. 5 star recruits year after year. But Duke is longer Duke if it’s in the AAC. Conference not only matters for the top recruits. It’s a must. [/QUOTE]
