I just don’t get it. Given all the obvious facts Duke is still piling up 5* and we are getting the next level. We are clearly the better program not even close since the turn of the century. We develop players as well as any program. And this has bothered me a lot with this last recruiting period. Now there is always more than one reason or answer to a complex issue.  However, I offer the following as a major contributing factor. 4 out of 5, of these 5* may say they want tough coaching but that is just stock media answer. They have been catered to their whole lives and they truly don’t want any tough love. They want to strut through their one year in school. We just have never sold that cruise life story.  No matter how much they say they do want to be coached hard, they just don’t. The only fact I have to support this theory is our success at winning national titles. Character and teamwork still trumps talent in college basketball.
