Not saying UD can't, and won't, get bigger and better players, though. AG off to a great start with Cohill. In BB, all it takes is a couple of studs to fall in love with your program and a real foundation can build.

With Gonzaga, since the 2000-2001 season, 23 players have joined the Zags on transfer as either regular or graduate transfers. During that same time span, the Zags have had 95 players on their rosters, meaning transfer players have made up just over 24 percent of all players in Mark Few’s tenure as head coach (not including the 1999 season). Add those transfers in with other pretty good players fairly close to Gonzaga who don't want to go to Oregon or Washington and you can see how the program can build..
Agreed on transfers. That's been a backbone of Gonzaga and Xavier when they were in the A10. You go over the top 100 lists since 98 and none of the programs that we see as comparable to us like Butler, Gonzaga, Xavier, Creighton and Wichita St were built with top 100 recruits.

Program building in the A10 I don't think works on the traditional we'll out recruit you for highly regarded high schoolers strategy. Non qualifiers, transfers, JUCOs, you've got to use an all of the above strategy when it comes to building a roster in the non power leagues.
