with bringing those players to MU, and you know it.
The Porters came to MU because of (1) a 7-figure contract for pops, and (2) a strong desire to reunite with their family in CoMo. Just about anyone other than Kim Anderson would have been able to "recruit" them here.
Harris flat out said he came because of MPJ, not Cuonzo (which is why he ended up transferring). And it's highly likely that Tilmon came along because of the MPJ hype as well.
Clearly, that class was an outlier that skews the recruiting stats. It came together under extraordinary circumstances. Every other class has been mediocre or disappointing.
