Sad recruiting record (on paper)

OK -Just for fun !!

Quickly list the 5 most successful WBB programs in the Pac-12 over the past 5 years.
Quickly list the 5 least successful WBB programs in the Pac-12 over the past 5 years.

Now take a look at the recruiting info provided by bvrbooster.

Number of top 100 recruits signed by PAC 12 schools over the last 4 years:

Oregon State 8 (incl. Destiny); Oregon 7; Cal 8; Stanford 9; UCLA 8; USC 8

Arizona St. 4

Arizona. 3; UW 2; WSU. 1; Utah 1; Colorado 2;

Now: Compare your list with the number of top 100 recruits signed over the past 4 years.

The overlap does not have to be 100% to be persuasive. (In Vegas if your right 75% of the time you're galactically rich in one week !!)

Bottom line: Recruiting isn't everything - but it's damn close....

It's virtually impossible (never say never) to win consistently without being in the top 1/3 of the recruiting rankings.

Look who gets floor time for the Beavs. Look who sits. Compare their recruiting rankings. Not a perfect correlation, but close enough to get the picture.

GO BEAVS !!

"There's certainly a correlation, but remember, OSU started winning the Pac-12 with I believe only Weise being a top 100 recruit on the roster. If compare the 2014-2015 team's recruiting ranking, I'm pretty sure they would be near the bottom in the conference."

The 2014/15 team had Siegner (#94 on HoopGurlz), Weisner (#41 on HoopGurlz), Wiess (#80 on HoopGurlz), and that unranked-because-of-bein-a-furrener Gulich.
