I think this is completely wrong. Talent is required, but give me a team made up of talented players that have won consistently at a previous level over a team made up of talented players that lost at the previous level.

You don't think our previous players won in HS?
The one thing these new players all have in common is that they're very talented, which is certainly exciting. I promise you Howland is not on the recruiting trail just scouting state champions.
And I still don't get the Mullen statement. He has mentioned a recruit's winning history and mentality many, many times.
Fred Thomas, Gavin Ware, Craig Sword, and IJ Ready all won state titles in HS, and Zuppardo won one in JUCO. So what was the point again?
