There are a lot of great "college" players who don't end up at those schools. Chris Bosh went to Georgia Tech and Chris Paul went to Wake Forest. You saying those 2 players didn't go to the "traditional" powers because they didn't work hard? Gonzaga has produced 3 players (Stockton, Nash, Morrison) who are considered hard workers. Why didn't they go to UNLV or UCLA, because of their work ethics??

And Memphis is not a traditional power (just to quibble), they are a power every 10 years of so. Beasley going to K-State is akin to Penny Hardaway going to Memphis St.
