Jans has already proven he is more than capable of getting his players to play near to their full potential. And, if his players have a unique (almost indefensible) abilities like being extremely quick, or possess a high motor, or being an exceptional athlete all the better. Keep in mind, Jans had a hand in building Wichita State's program and they did not build their reputation by signing 4 and 5 star recruits. But they beat a lot of team who did. I think Jans has an eye for talent that goes beyond the recruiting services "star rating" system. And, confidence in his ability to develop/coach a player to his full potential.

Good points. Wichita State has had one player drafted in the past 23 years and has not had a player drafted in the first round since Xavier McDaniel in 1985. But that has not kept Wichita State from producing some really good basketball teams over the years. They do a really good job of player development.
