Memphis, Ohio State, and North Carolina have the top-ranked US college basketball recruiting classes for 2010. But how about the Berkeley economics department’s 1963 recruiting class? As I learned this weekend, department head Andreas Papandreou hired five brand-new assistant professors that year: Dan McFadden, Oliver Williamson, Sid Winter, Peter Diamond, and David Laidler. Not a bad haul!

Like most top basketball recruiting classes, most of this team “went pro” elsewhere after a short stay ;-)

True, true. Actually Williamson was, in today’s parlance, a “one-and-done.” But he (and McFadden) came back, many years later.

Peter, are you comparing Papandreou to Steve Fisher, coach of the one-time Fab Five at Michigan? Or maybe Williamson to O.J. Mayo, the most recent one-and-done NCAA/NBA player?
