yeah i was speaking more of real world today.  INDY being #1 in the country and the boilers being an always decent to good team.  I think purdue this yr may end being lower than a 38-52 (borderline tourny team).   

glen robinson from the 1990-1991 season is good example of a 10 loss purdue getting indiana's Mr Basketball over a 5 loss Indiana in recruiting

Not that it's relevant in any way to anything, but Indiana and their 1 tournament in the past four seasons would not be an A+.

Don't forget that A+ doesn't have an upper limit. I just had a battle a year ago in Tark between 2 A+ schools, I was at an A+ baseline school coming off an NT against an A- baseline that just made A+ based on draft picks, and the other school outspent me by 30% and still lost.

ive long believed an a+ in d1 was not capped like d2/d3, and you could get at least a partial grade above 100, so to speak. however, i never saw *conclusive* proof, and always wanted to see. in this case, it would be conclusive proof, if you happened to have exchanged notes - were you guys at the same distance? and do you know what the effort was (mostly, if HVs or CVs or a mix were used)?

Billy, I'm not sure if an A+ at DI is ultimately capped or not at some point, but I am 100% sure that there is a significantly larger range within A+ then there is at any other grade. Two A+ teams can actually be fairly fair apart.
