The fact that this herb played K-State basketball is the greatest damnation of Jim Wooldridge & his time here. I hate your face Jay Heidrick. Young tucks are the most dangerous.

Yet, Butler has played in more Final Fours than Kentucky since Cal went to UK.
It's not about the number of stars. It's about the getting the most talented kid who is the best fit for your program. Talent is important. Work ethic is important. But so are a ton of other things. If anything that is how our FB program was built. We have had some great players, but we've mainly had solid players who fit really well into what they are asked to do.
Personally, I am not worried if we sign a 1 star kid, and I'm not too excited if we sign a 5 star kid. We've had lower ranked kids excel and McD's AA's leave the program.
