Recruiting the top players - what to do?

Well, this article would lead you to belive J.Calhoun at UConn has said good-riddance to the top10. Yeah right!! Don't give me that crap.

"They're much more impressed with (Dwight) Howard (the No. 1 overall pick right out of high school) being drafted than Ben and Emeka," Calhoun said.

Calhoun said last week at the Nike All-America Camp that the Huskies had just stopped recruiting two high-level players who could not give UConn anything more solid than a conditional commitment. The condition, of course, was that they might bail for the NBA and forego college altogether.

"There will be no `conditionally,'" said Calhoun, who might have had enough of that dance last year when Charlie Villanueva flirted hard with the NBA before coming to school — and proving that he was nowhere near ready for The League.
