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 |
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.''
