Total misconception. It is a huge mistake to think there is a great deal of difference between Conference USA and SEC recruits. All you have to do is look at how many major conference schools were taken down by mid majors in the NCAA tournament. You take Southern Mississippi, Louisiana Tech, Tulsa, and Middle Tennessee (all 13-3 in conference) and pair them with the top four teams in the SEC - Florida, Kentucky, Georgia, and Tennessee by putting in a hat and drawing the pairing and Conference USA wins 1 or 2. If you pair them with the bottom four in the SEC, they win 3 of 4.
Let me make it a little simpler. Basketball teams have 14 players as opposed to football. That's a hell of a lot of talent to pick over. Some people are acting like USM recruits are inferior to SEC recruits. Tell that to the leading scorer in the conference and Missouri. Tell that to Mercer who came into Thompson Boling and beat Tennessee last year and followed that up with a victory over Duke in the NCAA this year (they play with ETSU). Tell that to Wichita State. You catch my drift! Never think that Coach T can not solidify his roster with his USM recruits if they choose to come.
(PS, being an ETSU grad, have to throw in that the Bucs swept the Vols in a home and home baseball series this year.So much for mid majors not having any talent on a level with the SEC.)
