The other teams were recruiting at high levels before the BE move as well.
Aint no Blueitts, Holloways, McDermotts, Korvers, Haywards, Howards, Reynolds, or Stokes that ever came to Dayton in the last 10-15yrs.

If you look at the year by year commits on Creighton's recruiting you see a noticeable uptick with them in the Big East. Xavier gets better guys too.
Butler I can't remember off the top of my head but that PG that we were after in the spring Aaron Thompson that decommitted from Pitt. I don't think they're getting him the Horizon league. Matt Howard was the only high profile guy they inked that league
Korver was a nobody from Pella, Iowa and McDermott's own dad didn't think he'd be a contributor.
