Analysis of this set of Data:

In looking at the year-by-year analysis of each recruiting class, along with the coaches recruiting these players to these schools, it is pretty obvious that two schools have the upper hand on the rest. Legendary Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski consistently brings in the best recruiting class across the board, nearly every single year. He has a total of 26 5-star and 25 4-star recruits over this 15 year period of data. In second place is North Carolina coach Roy Williams who has 17 5-star and 23 4-star recruits over a 14 year span.

Check back tomorrow for Part 3 to see how this recruiting data correlates with the success of teams in both the regular season and conference tournament.
