Believe it or not, Jim O'Brien had a number of very high recruits that he chased. He won a few battles (Rodney Horton, Chip Jones, Chip Hare) but more often he lost the battle. Recruiting, unlike horseshoes, is not a "close enough" game. JOB's downfall (well, one of his downfalls) was that he swung for the fences too much but never had a back up plan for an "above average player". By the time he lost on his top recruits he was scrambling to pick up the Marko Pikkar's of college basketball.
