2016 General Recruiting

cincycpaw · 05-25-2016, 01:28 PM

Regardless of all these excuses, it's just that excuses.

The coaching staff is suppose to fill out a roster. They haven't done that very often. They always say....pocket scholly....next years class is the important one....we are in on a soooo many good players for next years class......

Bottom line, we aren't filling out scholarships. It hurts as we aren't getting 1 & dones so we need to get players into the program and develop them. Bringing in a bunch of freshman/transfers next year to start right away is a very scary situation in my mind.

I like we have a new arena coming. I wish we were in a power conference. Because those are the only 2 excuses left for not performing on the recruiting trail. We will not be successful. We may do enough to make the tourney which is a great thing, but we may continue to lose in the first round.....yuck.

If you really believe that is true, you have no clue. Style of play is probably last on their list. Some will say yea that style fits my game, but that's not why the commit.

Per Jeff Goodman, the Martin twins decided to attend Nevada.

That simply isn't true.

I guess they really like being a part of the Wolfpack.

Yeah, we might have oversold the Martin twins a little. Nobody wants to use two schollys to wait a year for them. Plus, with Broome, we'd have 3 guys waiting for next year using schollys.

Alot of posters are taking certain comments as excuses. Fact is, it's not an excuse, it's the reality of the situation. We are not a premier program anymore and are not capable of taking a highly touted NIKE kid away from that connection. I'm not sure who said it but Cronin had to fend out NIKE schools for Cumberland until he signed, that's a fact. These are not excuses for Mick, they are reasons he's not able to get the guys he's been used to getting in the past at UofL and UC.

For those saying these are excuses I want you to look at the last 3-4 recruiting classes. Find the top rated classes in the country. Then do the research as to what affiliation their AAU teams had with shoes companies and then the shoe company the college they committed to. You'll find there is a whole lot of similarities.
