[QUOTE="Foxyg, post: 281858, member: 1508"] The difference in that day and age was the fragmented nature of the conferences and the relative weakness of the ACC. In 1990, the ACC was not a great conference. This was before conference expansion round 1 (FSU), round 2 (VT, Miami, BC) and round 3 (Pitt, Louisville, Cuse). Maryland and Duke were better than they are today, but they weren't world beaters by any stretch of the imagination. Likewise, I think we were one of the first teams to really recruit beyond a regional basis. Ross O'Leary and Friedgen had recruiting ties in the northeast and up the atlantic seaboard, which were, from what I gathered at the time, fairly underrecruited areas, so it was much easier to pull diamonds in the rough out. Likewise, they recruited a lot of prep schools, which were fairly underrecruited too. Additionally there wasn't that pesky APR hanging over their head so they could hide marginal students. [/QUOTE]
