In response to Columbia 37P6
The other thing for Columbia is that I think you have (or will soon have) the opportunity to recruit the same 3/4 star kids that Harvard is looking at, even if you concede that Harvard has institutional advantages that will give them their pick of the 3/4 star crop. Harvard's profile has grown and the number of 3/4 star kids considering them has grown. Perhaps next year's class is an outlier, but if it isn't, there will soon be more 3/4 star players thinking about going the high academics route than Harvard can take. They can't take 7 kids every year. Even if Harvard has a brand advantage, Columbia still has an excellent brand that ought to be very appealing to a kid who wants a great education from a well-known school while playing high level basketball.
