How much does NCAA Tournament performance affect recruiting?
I ask because I'm wondering whether a Duke run to the Final Four (or, conversely, early exit in round 2 or the Sweet Sixteen) would impact the decisions of 2011 and 2012 recruits. Further, could Duke's success or failure this March/April factor into the impending decisions of Trey Zeigler, Terrence Ross or any other potential member of the 2010 incoming class?
It seems to me that now would be a good time for Duke to live up to its high seed and (supposedly) favorable draw.
