There are plenty of programs that have had great success with a broad approach to recruiting. And if a player isn't capable of understanding that Krzyzewski's availability will be temporarily limited by coaching the U.S. national team in the Olympics, do we really want to see that player at Duke?
My intention wasn't at all to critique Coach K's involvement in the Olympics (which I am a huge fan of, as it gives Duke amazing press), but rather to time is a serious issue for this year's recruiting. I don't really see how you can argue with that one. Furthermore, I am a firm believer that the longer you spend with a recruit, the better chance you have of signing him. Do you disagree?
And, lastly, wouldn't Amile Jefferson be on East Campus?
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. - Winston Churchill
