06:28 AM ET 04.30 | Tyshawn Taylor, a point guard from Jersey City, N.J., gave an oral commitment to play basketball at Kansas. Taylor says that KU coach Bill Self and assistant coach Joe Dooley compared his game to Russell Robinson's. Like Robinson, Taylor is a New York City area player whose job all season was to distribute the ball and make his teammates better. Taylor led St. Anthony High School to a 32-0 record and the mythical high school national championship. Also like Robinson, Taylor chose the Jayhawks over Georgia Tech.

Schools in NJ don't have a chance of getting any of those players compared to UNC, Duke including the NBA. With the exception of Mike Rosario.

Another move that should force Norm Roberts to quit. Jersey City is a 4 minute shuttle to Manhattan.

yes- that's the problem-
But that is a recent trend -
10 years ago the 'lesser' big east schools were relevant (st johns, Seton hall)
