Re: competing at the highest level

[dfairchild]

Al,

Don't forget, John Chenney and what he did at Temple; what Rick Majerus did
at Utah, what Mark Few has done at Gonzaga.

But that about exhausts the list.  They are the exceptions, not the rule!

Oh yeah, also what  Bob Huggins did at UC especially when they were in the
Great Midwest (which was anything but Great).

Here is a question for you and Jerry - to whom did Huggins lose players?  A)
To other teams in the C-USA?  B) To teams in mid-major conferences (MAC,
A-10, Horizon, MVC, etc), or C) to teams in one of the 6 power conferences?

I think that will tell you how important a conference is in recruiting.

Go Cats!

Jerry, I am in absolute agreement with you. You have to look no farther
than John Calipari and what he is doing at Memphis in a very weak C-USA
and what he did at UMass in the A-10. Also Tark at UNLV who played in
the Big West during his days at UNLV, and the only thing big about the
Big West was the area it covered.

recruiting and winning.>>>>>
