Ollie hasn't been coaching long, but was on staff to help develop Kemba, Lamb, Bazz and DD - four guys who pretty much went from non-prospects to players who will or should have nice careers in the league.
Agree with everything else you wrote but this statement is not legit. Both Kemba and DD were top 15 players/McD AA types coming into school. DD was not an NBA prospect after his poor frosh year, but saying that both Kemba and DD have Ollie solely to thank for becoming prospects is a bit off. Many thought DD might be a one and done coming in and Kemba was very, very well known after his terrific Final 8 game against Missouri when he was the best player on the court.
