Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 1998507, member: 364"] Our ONLY competitive top recruit - really - was Rudy Gay. Maybe Charlie Villanueva. Each of Khalid El Amin & Donyell & Rip ... were odd fluky wins. Rip blew up after we roped him in. Donyell fell out of Maryland & Syracuse because of idiosyncratic circumstances unique for that short period. And Khalid had lots of suitors ... and suddenly fell in our lap. Caron was ours because we took a risk on his background. When we competed with the top 10 of whatever year in situations that the kid went through the whole enchilada with visits and great fanfare ... Calhoun didn't win often. The Program was built on good solid mid level guys that developed. Ollie with Adams & Daniel Hamilton & Makai & Gilbert ... are all right in line with 27 years of stories. [/QUOTE]
