Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3237388, member: 2524"] That was in an era when ESPN was new, national television exposure was exciting to kids, and the Big East brought great TV exposure that other conferences were lacking, so Calhoun could sell to players all over the country. Now those advantages over other conferences are gone, and what matters most is relationships with the AAU and prep school coaches, and player networks generally. Those are best cultivated locally, because there's no substitute for frequent in-person contact. We have a terrific local talent base and if we re-establish ourselves as the top program of the northeast, local recruiting will be enough to make us a consistent top-10 program. [/QUOTE]
