While it would definitely be important it would be so for many reasons beyond just his rating. Many have thought that it is one thing to have success initially recruiting for a new coach. But now he has been here for 4 years, shown some success with the original group. Where does he go from there? Does recruiting slide back to earlier levels or does he bring in additional high ranked recruits and even improve. If so, he has a continuing developing program. If not, an unsustainable one trick pony. Getting that high level recruit would mean CCC has developed and actual program that will be around for a while and mark a new norm for NU.Didn't it hint that he could become the highest rated recruit NU BB history. That could make it important, no?
