What does a title mean for recruiting?

[clenz]

I read a post by PTTB that said that there was a guard in attendance the other night that said UNI jumped to the top of his list, and this got me to thinking.


What does a conference title, along with the recent success (yes I'm counting the last two years in that as well since they are near the top for wins in a season) do for UNI basketball recruiting wise? If UNI is able to get the tourney title as well and get to the second round, or put up a great showing in the first round how much does it help UNI for the next year or two?



And to look longer term, with all that we have coming back next year what would back to back titles do (if we can do it) for recruiting?

An MVC regular season title will do about 10 percent of the good a tournament title would.

I'm telling you...him seeing an almost packed house with good basketball enthusiasm and then that post-game celebration is what moved UNI to the top of his list. It is emotion more than stats (although stats obviously play into it). Kids like big stages with hype, though...the other night was taylor made for recruiting.
