Deep NCAA runs earn a school enormous value-- in publicity

[brewcity77]

As far as this mystery recruit, at what cost would we have taken him? Would we have passed on Jae Crowder, the late-committing JUCO? Or Davante Gardner, the late-committing 3-star prospect? Possibly we wouldn't have had room for Jamil Wilson? I find it hard to believe we would have sent either Vander Blue or Jamail Jones packing. I suppose the casualty might have been Reggie Smith, but in terms of rankings, he was higher rated than Crowder or Gardner.

Either way, it's the past, and I'm very happy with our 2010 class.

brew...this was September '09 when this took place.  My guess is that we wouldn't have had Gardner if this guy comes here.
