I used my mod powers and figured out where the OP coaches (don't worry, OP, won't spill it). Trust me, his school does not compete with Texas.


Actually, I have a question related to that and one of the latest questions you fielded. When it comes to recruiting, do you even try to get the top, top high school players (in the country or even the state)? Or do you know that you don't realistically have a shot at beating out Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, OSU, etc. and don't even bother wasting your time?

I went to Virginia and even though we have a major basketball program, it's still tough (impossible?) to out-recruit UNC, Duke, and more recently, Maryland and GT. Is it demoralizing at all to not be able to get the big recruits (forgive my ignorance if you have), or is it just a fact of life you don't worry about?

Great thread. Thanks for starting it. I think I may now put you on my list of teams to root for behind Virginia and Marquette (family history).
