Brey is in a tough situation. High expections from a lot of fans and low support from the administration. Fortunate for him, the administration doesn't share the high expectations that some fans do. Recruits love him, and I have talked to a lot of them in AAU events. His system is attractive to them, but it is ND itself that is the issue. It's not an attractive environment for them. For this that do find it attractive, they usually are in the sights of Duke who right now is royalty in the basketball kingdom. You can look at Duke's roster now and in recent years, and see several who had it not been for Coach K, would have ended up with Brey IMO. Losing a player to the powers in basketball is not a defeat or knock on Brey. He doesn't have many elite qualifying recruits to go after to begin with.
