And love how every single time you bring it back to the AAC. You and all the folks here always want to bring the recruitng back to the AAC, but then when the season starts, you want no comparisons with the AAC. WTF.
Again, Stever, you are the only constantly comparing the Big East to the American Athletic.
The reason comparing the Big East to the American doesn't make sense during the season - is the conferences are on two completely different levels.
You have one conference that finishes in the Top 3 in RPI consistently, gets up to 70% of its teams in the NCAA tourney, national champion and multiple Sweet 16 and Elite 8 runs.
Another conference that finishes 7th or 8th in RPI and closer to conferences like the Colonial and Sun Belt and MAC than the Big East in RPI, gets 2 maybe 3 teams in the tournament who rarely make any sort of run.
That's why you shouldn't compare the Big East and your American Athletic Conference during the season (or obviously during recruiting).
Said another way...we actually aren't comparing anything to the AAC. We "contrasting" the difference in recruiting levels between our conference and yours. You do understand the difference between "compare" and "contrast," right? We are contrasting, not comparing.
