Message: [QUOTE="McLovin, post: 3254183, member: 9450"] According to 247 Gilbert, Durham and Jackson were the 12, 17 and 24 best recruits to come to UConn since 247 started their composite ranking in the mid 2000's. All 3 are graded as better recruits than Shabazz, who is probably the second best guard we had since the 247 composite rankings began (he is our 25th best recruit according to 247). Rankings are subjective and clearly can be wrong. And to your point, none of these guys even came close to matching their hype in a UConn uniform, and coaching was certainly a factor. Even if Hurley's classes or recruits don't grade out as high as some of the "studs" Ollie recruited over the years, Hurley has proven he can get the most out of every player regardless of their HS recruiting rank. Carlton is exhibit A. [/QUOTE]
