Not sure if any of those would be called exceptional.

The first two are definitely quite exceptional. Roberts was a quality NBA player. Durrant was MVP of the Louisville Derby Classic and ultimatuly led the nation in scoring and was a great freshman. His mission wrecked his pro prospects. Now we're talking over 20 years ago however. The rest of them are nothing to build a program around. Role players at most.
The Durrant/Roberts class was a aberration that happens every couple of decades or so like Burgess, Plaistead and Cummard class. Roberts and Durant also were attracted to BYU by Ainge being there.
