Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2644420, member: 7894"] Are you saying a whole region produces players that are lacking development and overall basketball skills? Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Recruiting is a nationwide and even international endeavor these days. If the players in your backyard aren't what you are looking for, go find the kind of players you want from somewhere else. Not really buying this. I guess it's a chicken or the egg thing. To me it seems SEC coaches bring in players that fit the prevailing style of play in the conference, rather than nobody can get skilled players or shooters so they all are forced to play a certain way. Or even worse they get players from outside the region that could've been something more if they had gone elsewhere for college, but get stuck playing for a coach not known for skill development to the detriment of their career. Like maybe say 3 players from the State of Oregon that play for a team that wears orange. [/QUOTE]
