This is a fascinating post on many levels

Take a read here -- it's a critique of Mark Few's recruiting résumé.

Gonzaga just isn't going to get a stream of blue chippers, killer instinct or not (whatever that is). Never has, never will. Who does in the West Coast Conference?

The Zags land talented kids but do not and cannot generate annual interest from four and five star prospects like the Kentuckys, North Carolinas and Dukes.

This is not a weakness of Few's, it's a reality of being a WCC member, situated in Spokane. Gonzaga has an identity, a hard-earned and well-deserved one of, more often than not, overachieving.

If Few was at say UCLA, his landing of blue chippers there wouldn't be as a result of a newfound talent to attract and close the deal. The parameters around him would have changed, not him.
