Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3162859, member: 1220"] True elite posts are the scarcest and hardest position to fill in Basketball. I would also add true points to that category as well. But then most points in college are actually just athletic two's with good handles. Uconn is just in a position that most teams have always found themselves in. Players just used to feel grateful to be offered by Uconn. if offered it was generally a given that they would commit. The dynamics in respect to recruits and WCBB has been changing for some time now. It is not an automatic that Geno will get his pick of the litter every year. There just isn't enough elite talent to go around to all the good programs that exist in todays college reality. Too much competition for too few players. I wonder how much him not coaching the national team has influenced recruiting. I remember other teams fans claiming that gave him an unfair advantage. Players might have gone to Uconn because they felt it gave them a leg up in the selection process. [/QUOTE]
