Ever? No. Back in the pre-potential days, 700-rated guys in D3 were common, let alone D2. I had guys at my A+ D2 schools that I would kill for at some of my high-level D1 schools nowadays.
I don't agree, the recruits we were able to sign when D2s reach was absurd are far and away the best D2 recruits I've ever seen. It seemed every season in every world there was a D2 player getting drafted. You had schools signing guys ranked in the double digits, that never happened before. If you look at the backcourt Jones posted there were never 2 guys like that in a D2 backcourt in pre potential days. He didn't even include the 2 SFs he had that I'm pretty sure 95% of D1 coaches would've loved to have.
