Wouldn't bother me to see Graham recruit the ever loving heck out of West Virginia and bring in all kinds of hoopers and lay it to John Marshall.  Wouldn't bother me one little bit.  Lay it to em G-Men!

Another Question.  Why doesn't John Marshall request to play better competition at that tourney?

Yeah makes no sense for either team. They have some serious programs play at that tournament. Why not match them up with someone who will provide them more competition?

At least it won't be the biggest mismatch in the history of the Virginia High Holiday Tournament. The 1992-93 Oak Hill team featured four future NBA players, including Jerry Stackhouse and Jeff McInnis, among its 10 D1 signees. The Warriors finished the season at 36-0 and were chosen as national champions by USA Today.
