More from Gottlieb on recruiting Division III talent:
"I called
@DaveKlatsky last year and asked if there were any D-III transfers worth looking into. He said there was one player in our league who could play at the D-I level: Justin Allen.
"He started moving the ball and attacking on the second catch. He really did a good job defensively and on the glass, and there were games in which he was outstanding against really good players. That confirmed something that Dick Bennett told me. … 'The better the kid, the more they’ll improve.'
"There is no better human to play basketball for me than Justin Allen from that perspective."
