Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 2499524, member: 3376"] This is correct – from the early 90s til the late 2000s, we didn't get much at all from New England (Adrien, Freeman & Edmund being the ones that stand out most). In part this was because Calhoun started recruiting so well nationally and in NYC in particular, but a larger part is that New England talent as a whole was down bigly during that timespan. As soon as the New England talent level picked back up a decade ago, Calhoun landed Oriakhi (top 20 player), Jamal Coombs-McDaniel (top 50), Bazz (top 100) and Andre (top 5). And New England's been cooking ever since. Ollie's inability to take advantage of that isn't [I]the[/I] cause of our current situation, but damn does it not help at all. [/QUOTE]
