Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 5259875, member: 175"] I think the recruiting pitch is that we have a good track record of getting players to exceed expectations and maximize their potential. Some guys made it to the league who were never really expected to coming in - Martin, Newton, Jackson, Sanogo, Spencer. Some with marginal NBA potential coming in really improved their stock and became lotto picks - Clingan, Bouknight, Hawkins. And the one guy who was considered likely NBA material is soon to be Rookie of the Year. If we just point to Castle and Clingan, a guy might think “well, I’m not a 6-6 point guard or a 7-2 rim protector” Yeah - some of those guys didn’t stick (Bouk being a disappointment), but the message is, we can help you get there. Then it’s up to you. [/QUOTE]
