THirt agreed.

Just having someone stage in the first round is invaluable free marketing and more importantly program validation for recruiting. The program would get more validity with recruits and an NBA guy out there on a nightly basis is just grows the brand so to speak

I'd be happy with someone who stuck around for a while with the career of a Kyle Korver. Play for a decade and on some high profile teams.

I know that Xavier, Creighton and Butler really hit home their NBA guys in recruiting. They can sell that as validation that their program's player development works and of the program itself.

It's one thing to say you can get to the NBA from Dayton, it's another thing if AG has a guy who's more widely known that he can point to

I'm not sure how much but I've always thought that lack of a visible NBA guy like Korver, David West, etc hurt us in recruiting versus the programs that have been considered peers

Someone like Coach Cal sitting in the green room with a Kentucky kid on draft night is priceless. I'd guess a large % of recruits are watching the draft on tv. Hopefully AG can get in that position
