Message: [QUOTE="Watchdog, post: 3642163, member: 10325"] The failure to recruit after winning a National Championship wasn't the fault of membership in the AAC. UConn already had a storied history and had just won a NC with a young, former NBA player, in his second year as coach. He held the team together during a difficult first year and could have used his first two years' success, his knowledge of what it takes to make it in the NBA and set a new standard but failed. If you want to focus on the AAC aspect of recruiting you'll also need to explain how Mark Few can annually attract great recruits to the West Coast Conference (with few if any of them going on to the NBA), produce gaudy records, get high seeds (several #1's) without ever winning a NC and then continue to get great recruits. It's always about the right people, with the right strategy and work ethic, that makes success look easy. [/QUOTE]
