Talent not coaching. These schools don't have to recruit. They just flock there


Disagree, the coaches absolutely have to recruit. They have to be able to identify the top players and convince the players to come to their school. Maybe they only have to recruit vs other top programs but most of the top players receive offers from several of the top programs.

A coach has to be able to recognize talent as well as potential and then be able to convince the player to come to their school. The coach has to then be able to help the players develop as individuals and then develop and coach the team.


Maryland kids pay more to go to HS then UMD, if they're interested in playing for a championship caliber team it's not a hard sell be any means.
Also, the best players tend to flock to the best teams year in year out, 6-7 years ago BC couldn't get those players, but once they started having success it makes the recruiting process much easier. It's been mentioned on here a million times that realistically 5-6 schools have a chance a championship every year, once you put your team in that group recruiting becomes much easier. Sometimes its the coaches ability to recruit, sometimes they catch lightning in a bottle and the program takes off, the better coaches are able to sustain the momentum and the others not so much
