The if-weber-recruits-well thought could be fools gold. I mean, a bunch of ppl brought up all the *'s he had on his classes at Ill, and they seem to be talented individuals that are also really good at being quitters.
I think everybody looks at stars as gospel, I just look at them as probablities. So Im not hurt by us recruiting a bunch of 2 or 3 stars with Frank cause i knew at least one or two of them will pan out and if not he would Frank them. He played the numbers game.
BUT, I think stars do play into the perception of your program. If weber can get some 4 or 5 stars in here on the regular, I think it helps to fight the perception that Manhattan is impossible to recruit to. I dont give two shits if those 4-5 stars play like Jason Bennett with the next coach, cause im more worried about the perception.
If brucie gets "paper" talent in here, the next coach will think he can do the same. Mr. Pearl aint walkin through that door if he doesnt think he can get some elite kids in for barbques.
