UC history and tradition is another big time sell. I don't care if the kids were not alive to experience it...it's still hanging from the walls and visible on recruit visits. He's going after local guys as well which is a selling point to at least a few of them. Who knows what aspect of recruiting is going to appeal to the recruit until or unless you get them on campus.
There is a lot to sell!!

Outside of 5 rebuilding years (2005-2009) we have been to 23 of 23 NCAA tourneys. Not a lot of deep tourney runs but it's another selling point. Some NBA guys...some All Americans (Fortson, Martin, Kilpatrick, Logan) have walked through our doors in those years (and a few more in past years). One of the best NCAA players of all time as well. Maybe Cumberland can get some love this year whether it's first team or honorable mention.
