Honest question. Besides Greg Monroe and Gathers, what five star stud type basketball players have come out of New Orleans in the last 5-8 years?

If I was TJ, I wouldn't overlook Frank Wilson to help recruit some New Orleans basketball players. (Maybe just to put in a good work or show him around the schools while he's down there.)Wilson was the Director of Athletics for the New Orleans Public School System so I'm sure he knows some basketball coaches and people like that as well as recruiting football players that basketball as well.

I really don't know why TJ didn't just hire Gathers' AAU coach for an administratvie position or something.

To rebuild our program, we can't rely on superstar one and done players, but those who will play 3 years or so, and start winning consistently. Once this happens, then we can attract the big guns to help us in March Madness, even if it's for a year.

Not sure of the exact text, but I believe a NCAA rule was just recently passed prohibiting that from happening.
