The Only Colors Recruiting data

Found this table in this article: http://www.aseaofblue.com/2010/8/14/1622891/kentucky-basketball-foes-may-hate

And thought it was pretty interesting...

I was unable to locate after a reasonable Google search a historical database of recruiting class rankings by school, but I was able to locate RSCI Hoops, which gives us the consensus class rankings since 1998.  Statsheet has further cut these statistics, and here is the best meaningful comparison I could come up with:

 

From 1998-2011 Top Ten Recruits By School
Team 1998-2009 2010 2011* Totals
North Carolina 13 1 1 15
Duke 9 1 0 10
Michigan State 6 0 0 6
Kentucky 6 2 3 11
UCLA 5 0 0 5

The Only Colors Good Article

The good parts specifically

1) Big Ten is the cleanest Conference

1a) They speak specifically about how Tom Izzo Runs a clean Program

2) "Here's what I think happens a lot -- a team loses a kid to someone else and all of a sudden that someone else is cheating. Every time North Carolina loses a kid, someone else is cheating. It's like there's so much arrogance with them; they can't believe someone would rather go somewhere else, so the other team has to be cheating.''
