who does the best job taking recruits and making them top of the line NBA prospects. You can tell this by the . . . NBA UCONN failure rate. See that sounds counterproductive, but it's not. It means that a majority of the NBA first rounders that came from UCONN weren't the top 20, 50 or sometimes 100 recruits in the country in high school.
ANYONE can take the top 10 players in the country on the high school level and put them on a one year path to the NBA, if they are that good, they'll go regardless of what college team they play for, but here at UCONN, when you step away from Ray Allens, Rip Hamilton, Caron Butler, and Kemba Walker types you find Hasheem Thabeet, Hilton Armstrong, Emeka Okafor, Shabazz Napier, Josh Boone, Jeremy Lamb.
That's coaching, that's what separated Calhoun from Williams, Coach K, Self, absolutely Boeheim, and the Squid. That's the UCONN way.
