While they are going to be impressed by the cachet of a Duke or Kentucky, there's not an overwhelming difference between what they can offer compared to others when it comes to facilities, travel, locker room set-up and apparel. Finally, coaches are underestimating just how smart these recruits are and how often they talk to each other. (Rivals.com)
