		<description><![CDATA[Recruiting involves a lot of uncertainty.  Recruiting can be very difficult.  Many times the recruiting process can be downright cruel.  However, just because something is hard it doesn&#8217;t mean that someone should shy away from it.  Recruits meet every athletic challenge head on, so why wouldn&#8217;t they do the same with recruiting?

GERRY AHERN SAYS &#8230;
It would be easy to attribute Brad Stevens&#8217; stunning success at Butler to the players he inherited from Todd Lickliter when Lickliter left for Iowa after the 2006-07 season.
