I don't think that Harvard has gather any less of the talent then they have
in the past. They just haven't done as much with the talent they have had.
I don't remember all of the rosters but they always had an "international"
flair to them in the Cleary years. I think the makeup is not a glaring
difference from say 10-15 years ago.
