I think this is correct. Even with elite coaches, it's still difficult. African-American players don't have those rural schools on their radars like they used to. Lexington may be a major city to a lot of people but it's not considerd major to most. A lot of them have that same attitude that OJ Mayo had which was to go to a major center to maximize their potential. Also with Kentucky not even making the tournament and the rest of the conference really being down, that's going to make things even harder.
