I am just saying that I think the fact that he's pulled in really, really highly regarded recruits is a plus. That is where Dayton has historically struggled. We've seen guys blow up and then it's all over. Won't even consider us. Of course, how you actually evaluate talent is the most important thing without a doubt. Five diamonds in the rough is better than five busts. But we've been pretty good at finding diamonds in the rough. And Grant's found his share as well. Consider Larry Sanders, whose composite recruit ranking was #384. The 384th ranked player in the class of 2007! Dude went on to be the 15th overall pick in the NBA draft three years later! So yeah, he can find guys. Even bigs. And he can develop them.
