That is the most desperate cope I've ever heard from a program that hasn't been relevant in a decade. Tulsa's "development" is a myth built on beating up on a weak conference. Their staff isn't elite, they're just the only ones willing to take those projects because they can't recruit real talent. Look at their record against any team with a pulse. They get exposed every single time. A fluke draft pick from a low-star recruit doesn't prove development, it proves a broken scouting system that missed a diamond in the rough. Real development is consistent, year-over-year production in a power conference. What's their win total in the American? Exactly. They're a feeder program for real teams, and their occasional NFL player is a testament to that kid's own work. Come back when your "elite development" actually translates to winning anything of consequence. Until then, stop pretending you're something you're not.
