Yeah...that's what I mean man--if other schools get a participating exchange student in a sport, the Chris Papsts of the world are far & few between. But it's like TS is playing with loaded dice or something...when they take a chance on a kid, bring him/her into the country as an exchange student, they most of the time roll a 7 with how good of an athlete he/she is and they contribute. It can't just be blind luck. Most schools might get 1 exchange student to contribute noticeably in an entire decade...TS can get about 5-7 to contribute in a decade.

For instance--TS had a slow start to the season this year, and then about 1/3 of the way into it, the news comes that they have an exchange student. Within 2 games, the kid works his way into the starting lineup and to me looked like their 2nd best all-around player come Regions. I mean I used to play connect the dots a lot as a kid, but this is connecting dot 1 to dot 2...there's a connection there. I looked at everyone around me watching Pecev play, and I told them...you can tell...just look at how he handles himself on the court--where he goes to, the moves he uses--he's played in Europe and played against pretty good competition to come over here and make an almost seemless transition.
