I believe the "lesser" school from the example in the book was UVA or Maryland or some other ACC school. Still very fine institutions, but not quite on the Harvard level. Gladwell makes a very convincing argument that might change your opinion if you read his book. By the way, and without deviating too far off topic, grades have a HUGE impact in grad program admittance.

There are many other factors that contribute to that theory which do not apply to basketball recruiting. I'm trying to present a logical case for Bama without my Crimson colored glasses. The resources/PT that we could devote to Ingram will benefit him more in the long-run than what he could receive at Kentucky. RTR

This 5* plays for Mo Williams' AAU club so maybe he can send him to us.

@BAMAMIXTAPE: Alabama Head Coach Avery Johnson is already making a splash. He's impressed top 10 Terrance Ferguson already. Good sign for the state.

On the recruiting side, Ferguson said he's been hearing from Arkansas, Baylor, Kansas, Louisville, Texas A&M along with many others. The Texas native said he also just recently spoke with new Alabama coach Avery Johnson.

"He's a former NBA coach and former NBA player, so who wouldn't want to play for him?" Ferguson said. "He's just trying to build a relationship so far and build a bond with me."

Ferguson doesn't have a timeline for his decision and said he's still interested in all the schools recruiting him.
