But it's Gonzaga! How did they get anyone to go there? Isn't that the issue? The point is that good players go to schools not named Duke, UNC, and UK. You are acting like being UNT is a death sentence that will make it impossible to get a good player there. Shockingly, no mention of Steph Curry. Guess you were too busy missing the point to come up with a ridiculous reason to discount a legitimate point.
They got people to go there because they are a top 20 baskeball school because Few is a great coach. He won off xs and os and is now able to get players like Morrison. Curry wasnt a huge recruit. Great talent wasnt a huge recruit.
Jones recruited the best talent that UNT could reasonably get thats why they are at the top of the Sun Belt. Hes not an amazing coach or else he could coach that talent further ie Few or Brad Stevens. However he is solid. Im sorry no 5 star recruit is going to pass up UT A&M Texas Tech Baylor SMU or TCU to go to North Texas.

Except UNT isn't at the top of the Sun Belt. In conference play, they're right at .500, at least since Jones has been coaching there anyway.

Guess we should ask Houston, Providence, Butler, Wichita St., Boston U , VCU, and Utah how they recruit top 100 players.
More specifically, I guess Houston doesn't have same problem UNT has with all those other schools. The bottom line is, I'm not picking on you, but being at UNT isn't an insurmountable handicap to recruiting great. It is what it is, but you act like he's recruiting kids to the University of Pyongyang.
So to recapitulate, he recruited some good players 20 years ago and hasn't approached that level since.
