Without meaning to, I think you nailed a key concept. How many five-stars grow up wanting to come to Purdue? How many grow up wanting to go to NC/KY/KS/MSU/Dukewhomever. Sure, Vandy is an aberration, as are others,. Gonzaga is an interesting school, but there are some foreign aspects to some of their recruits too. You say you couldn't be sold anything you didn't want . . . the inverse is you'd gladly buy what you do want, and you are going to buy something. Therefore, when you get the opportunity to buy what you've always wanted, you are a damn easy sell.
