When 95% of the tourney eligible teams are Nike, you can't deny it that those teams are having players steered towards them. You said it yourself when Wichita State, Butler and Gonzaga get better players. It's not coaching. Basketball is a different animal.

Nike/Addidas have a ton of shite programs under their label that don't have players steered towards them. Unlike football, Auburn doesn't have fertile recruiting grounds to draw from, we have fricked up any instate connections to the few quality players that are from the state and we have no real consistent history to draw from. Under Armour isn't holding back recruiting, Auburn is holding back recruiting
I said teams like Wichita, Butler and Gonzaga built their programs on elite coaching. Their program success has players go there now. Even so, they still don't recruit on elite levels except for maybe Gonzaga.
Like I said, if Duke up and changed to Under Armour today, neither their recruiting nor performance would be significantly affected. Also, Under Armour is starting to pour money into BBall but it is a process
