It's just dumb.  Duke has been Flagg's dream school his whole life and it was assumed he was going there for a year and a half.  UConn was never supposed to be a part of his recruitment, we got his only other visit.

We win national championships constantly, who cares if we do it with a majority of guys ranked 30-70?  Who cares if we hone in on studs who rise up in the rankings?

Donyell pretty much fell in our lap, we beat out Minnesota for Khalid, I forget Rip's recruitment but we didn't beat out Duke, Kentucky, Kansas for him.  We didn't beat out those schools for Caron either.  We got Ben Gordon because Duke didn't pursue him, we beat out Maryland for Rudy Gay.  People were freaking out that we didn't get Jamal Sampson and Isiah Fox and we settled for Okafor.  We got Charlie V because Self left Illinois.  We got Kemba because we didn't get Brandon Jennings.  We got Bazz because we didn't get Knight, Selby or Joseph.  We got Boatright because Huggins took Jabarie Hinds (another point guard) right after getting Boatright.

These are the best players who have ever played here and all I can think of where we beat out "our overlords" was Ray Allen.  Yet we win more national championships than everyone else.
