Message: [QUOTE="Stainmaster, post: 3179168, member: 5260"] It's not nonsense. Parity is at an all-time high in the college game. Look at who made the Final Four last year, and look at who played in the championship. Virginia Tech and Houston were in the Sweet 16. Schools like Alabama and Arkansas are now ponying up to pull in the top mid-major coaches on the market nationwide (there's plenty else to be said about other SEC schools like Auburn and LSU increa$ing their inve$tment$ in their basketball programs as well). USC, Texas Tech, and DePaul all have multiple recruits in ESPN's top 100. This is a vastly different environment than the last time UConn was at the top of the mountain. Schools that "never won a thing," as Jibsey put it, are recruiting and performing at a higher level than they ever have. How much do you think Dan Hurley improving really changes that in the grand scheme of things? [/QUOTE]
