I mean, Deng was a one and done in ’04, but people point to Magette and Livingston as proof that K changed his recruiting style. I’d imagine that K will get back up there now that he won’t be spending so much time concentrating on USA Basketball.
Kate – good point, but Coach K was already in the Pantheon after his third national title in 2001, and he mixed up his recruiting strategy soon thereafter b/c of the Maggette and Shawn Livingston situations. Knight was already on the downswing by 1992. Maybe Roy will lose a step on the recruiting trail, but I’d be shocked if he did soon. If he doesn’t keep the fire to win a third in the next five yrs, I’d be surprised. Four would be pushing it, but not outside the realm of possibility.

Look at Coach K – only a couple of years ago he seemed ready to sweep the world aside to join that Pantheon, but wow, the mojo seems to be gone. And look at the futile labors of Bobby Knight after his last FF in 92.
