Jermaine Samuels said he wanted to play in the ACC, ended up at Nova. I'm sure conference matters to some kids, but I doubt it's even top 5 for most

Well ACC to Big East is hardly a drop off, regardless of the differences in style of play.

Fortunately, you don't have to play for a conference, only a team. So if UConn's style of play is good for him it doesn't matter what the AAC is like.

You don't actually believe this?

In that the style of play of the team you play for is much more important to your success than the style of play of the opponents, yes. Good players need to be able to play well against any opponent. But they don't need to play well within every system.

Sure, maybe for some kids. But Carey literally said it matters to him. I know Samuels said it too, but there isn't a huge drop off from the ACC to the Big East.

Carey emphasized style of play. The article implies the B1G would be out too.
