Re: Get Over it

[Nathan Allen]

Rankings are important, but are way overrated once you get past the schools
that are bringing in 3/6 five star guys every year.  Remember, during all
those years when UC could not make it to the sweet 16 with ranked recruits,
XU was going to the elite eight with a bunch of guys that were not heavily
recruited by any of the "big time" schools.

Until he gives me a reason not to, and based on his repuation, I will trust
Mick's recruiting for the time being.
