Not really any big names in their roster before Rose, at least not guys that lit up the NBA. For example in 06-07 they lit up CUSA "powerhouses" (16-0) + #20 Kentucky at home, but lost to #19 GT at home and @ #9 Arizona. Then they lost to #1 seed tOSU in the tournament. Those were the only 4 ranked teams they played (losing 3) in going 33-4.

Then Rose came.

From the stories I've heard -- and I will freely admit they are stories, not links -- Duke offered but backed off and basically told him "we don't want to embarrass you, but, you're not coming to Duke. We'll leave the offer out there for appearances but you we won't accept it if you try to sign it."
