This is probably gonna rustle jimmies and open up Pandora's box but outside of Melo and Warrick, when's the last time a 'Cuse player stuck in the league?
I've seen dudes like Rautins, Greene, Flynn, Onuaku, Fab, Joseph, and soon to be Wes Johnson straight flame out with the quickness.
Is Boeheim to blame?
I'm just amazed he got Wes and Flynn drafted in the top ten.....Wes was the big east player of the year under Jimmy, can't really knock that but I do agree on the fact that he comes up a little short on developing guys for the nba. He's great at making guys look very good in his system but that doesn't translate obviously. Rautins Was a 2 star recruit, getting him drafted was a miracle, Onuakus a 3 star 6-8 center, John wooden wasn't getting him drafted.
Cuse gets good -very good recruits but there's a misconception there adding these top ten kids yearly. Outside of Melo who was the last top 5 recruit? Billy Owens? Not many. Jim recruits players that fit his system and displays their strengths while hiding the weaknesses well. Fine with me, I root for the jersey, I hope the kids end up doing well in the league but Boeheims system is basically street ball on offense (dont judge by this tear) and obviously the zone. He doesn't teach fundamentals well at all , he recruits athletes that he hopes turn into bbball players rather then recruiting a fundamentally sound kid who may be too small for his zone
