Related Topics: Mountain West Conference

When creating a program, there are two ways to build a team. If you have the ability to recruit outstanding freshman year after year, you build a program like Kentucky or Duke. You sign your All-Americans and you look like a junior college on steroids. Or, you are the Air Force Falcons. You try to build your program through experience and you search for the right group that will be there long enough to gel and when they are all juniors and seniors you hope you can find your way into one of the four post season tournaments and you ride that experience until the next group develops.
