Your point sucks. Wichita State has 1 top 100 guy for the past 8 years on there.
Jones has won more at UNT than Houston has the past 10 years and houston has an elite history-UNT has none.
Butler has one of the most elite coaches in the nation and went to back to back final fours-not a hard sell
and Utah has as much or more history than we do and is in the Pac 12
Which of these is supposed to prove your point?
The point is clear. If you recruit well, even a small school can become a powerhouse. Like Gonzaga, like Butler. So being at UNT doesn't doom him like you think it does. Again you act like Denton is Pyongyang.
The second point is, when I asked has he recruited a single individual that has approached that caliber since then, you said he is at UNT he isn't going to get that kind of talent. My point was look at all these schools that aren't monsters that have gotten top 100 talent this year.
You disagree with every example, because they aren't North Texas. I can't find you an example you will accept because of two reasons, 1) there isn't one to point to that occurred at North Texas which is my point; and 2) Every school that isn't North Texas is, for lack of a better way of explaining it, not North Texas, so you reject it for the minor reasons that the situations are dissimilar.
Nothing personal to you, I just would like to think that if Ceasar thinks he is such a great recruiter, he would have shown that prowess with an example more recent than 20 years ago.
As to Whichita St., I believe, and you will correct me if I'm wrong, they have one more in the last 8 years than Big Johnny does.

You are putting the chicken before the egg. Those are places where they have elite xs and os coaches and went far in the tournament BEFORE they started recruiting like a powerhouse.

Everyone of those schools has a monster past or went far in the tourney before they started recruiting like that.
Hell one of the providence kids you are talking about (nevermind the fact that they have a great past with a history of elite coaches) was from PROVIDENCE Rhode Island
