This reminds me of the Buddy Hield debate. Some insist that we didn't truly beat KU in a recruiting battle for him because KU didn't really recruit him that hard. Assuming that is true for the sake of this discussion, was Self "negligent" for missing out on a kid in his home state who ended up being the best player in the country and a lottery pick, or is it possible that no one, even one of the best coaches on the planet, could have foreseen Buddy turning into that player?
