It's a lot easier to say "recruit Chicago", "recruit Memphis", or "recruit Latin America" than it is to execute these ideas. The reason that Bradburd was so successful in Chicago was that he was from the area and had ties to several of the local high school and AAU coaches. You had a similar thing with Barbee, who had developed those types of relationships in Memphis during his time as an assistant to Calipari. Rouco had spent years scouting and developing relationships in Latin America, Our current coaching staff doesn't have these same connections, but it really doesn't matter, as they do in other parts of the country, and you can find good talent everywhere. What is important is that you do a good job of determining the right guys for your program, get a good percentage of these guys to sign with you, and get all of the guys who sign with you to actually suit up in a Miner uniform. They haven't done as good a job at doing that as they should.
