Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3446068, member: 1673"] For the climb to 1,000, if you break the wins into 100 increments, Auriemma has had top talent for a majority of those increments. However, we are not talking about the climb to 1,000, but their respective climbs to 600. For half of those increments Auriemma's recruiting pool was not as good as Mulkey's, for a third of them no where near as good, for the second half it was better, though the last 1 or 2 increments Mulkey's was nearly as good. Honestly, I suspect that overall Mulkey's recruited talent, certainly her recruiting pool, averages out better for the first 600, but for the sake of argument I'm willing to call it a wash. In Auriemma's climb to 600 his talent does not average out better for those six increments. If Mulkey continues to recruit the way she has recently her climb to 1,000 may prove as star studded as Auriemma's as well, maybe not. We will just have to see. Perhaps we are talking about different things. I am talking about recruited talent, not developed talent. Rizzotti and Wolters ended up being the best players in the country, fitting your claim of more talent and basketball skills than their rivals, but coming out of high school in Connecticut and Massachusetts they were not highly coveted players, Auriemma developed them as such.
