Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 1977379, member: 153"] Adams is highly rated. Gilbert is a McDs. Hamilton was top 20 (#17). These are elite recruits. Just like a Kemba, Rip Hamilton, Ben Gordon, AJ Price, or Ray Allen (ratings-wise). You can make a good living recruiting kids between 15-45. The only kids UConn has grabbed that were higher are Donyell Marshall, Charlie Villanueva, and Rudy Gay. 3 kids in the 40 years since Corny Thompson committed to UConn under Perno. Andre Drummond should be considered there but he was a one-off oddball who wasn't even in that year's rankings. As for transfers, he has 2. Purvis and Larrier. Larrier looked like a helluva player.
