I was watching the ESPN 30 for 30 "Requiem for the Big East" (for about the 4th time) and it was talking about the big recruits that got the Big East going back when it first was getting starting, ie: Ewing, Washington, Mullen, ect.
Got me wondering. Who was the BIGGEST recruit that your school has ever gotten? Not the just best skill wise necessarily (but it can be), but the most IMPORTANT recruit.
I'd would say it has to be Christian Laettner for Duke. Although i think maybe an argument could be made for Johnny Dawkins. But Laettner to me was the one that really helped put Duke on the map and stay there.
