No doubt, more so pointing out recruiting model

I think there’s a misconception around the level of recruiting that needs to be done to achieve final four/national championship success in college basketball.

Baylor has developed a model of bringing in elite athletes and relying on their coaching to develop them as basketball players. Bring in kids that can defend and rebound at a high major level on day 1. Brey would tell you they have “men.”

It seems like Brey focuses (recently) on finding guys that fit the system in recruiting. He values IQ, passing, shooting. You’ll hear “he’s going to remind fans a lot of xyz.” And that model currently has us with one of the oldest teams in the ACC getting overwhelmed athletically each year. Why can’t we find “men” and develop them into well-rounded players. Think about the progress DJ, Grant, PC, Auguste made as system players. All flashed as athletes early, developed in the system over time.
