Out of Hibernation

I had to come out of hibernation yesterday, if only to enjoy Memphis - Tennessee (and Butler - Drake).

And can't help but today highlight the following question, from a recent Stewart Mandel column for Sports Illustrated.

The rate of pro success for Duke's McDonald's alums is significantly lower than that of all others during the same time period, which begs the question: Did Duke recruit these players because they were good enough to be McDonald's All-Americans, or did many of them become McDonald's All-Americans simply because Duke was recruiting them?
