Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2539199, member: 4946"] There's a big difference between someone who was a "high school AA" but ranked in the 20's and a #1 or #2 recruit. To use some ND examples, it's roughly the difference between Jewell Loyd (#4 in 2012) and Michaela Mabrey (#33) or between Brianna Turner (#2 in 2014) and Kat Westbeld (#21). All of those players were McDonald's AAs but there's a huge gulf in talent between Loyd and Mabrey and between Turner and Westbeld. Nobody gets more of the super-elite (top 5 or 6 ranked) recruits than UConn. KML, Stewart, Jefferson, Tuck, Samuelson, Collier, Dangerfield, Walker, Williams, Nelson-Ododa. All ranked #6 or better including 5 #1s over the last 8 signing classes. No one else is close to having a list like this. [/QUOTE]
