We still recruit the old-fashioned way, through the high school coaches, who have far less influence than they did formerly on the top HS players, many of whom have AAU coaches who act as de-facto agents.
No coach ever accomplished less with the kind of talent that Digger had at his disposal. The year we lost to Ark-Fayetteville in the first round of the tournament, Digger had a roster larded with future 10-year NBA veterans.
Digger was all hat, and no cattle, in my opinion.
