Is it just me, or was Thad Matta an average recruiter at X. A large chunk of the guys Matta recruited simply didn't work out.

There are some notable exceptions to the list below. Brandon Cole had an awful injury which hampered his career. Justin Cage was a great pick up. Duncan and Thornton were awesome. And I guess Stan.

But Miller is a much better recruiter than Thad was at X. And this explains why X struggled in 2005 and 2006. You can blame it on Thad.
