Talent is obviously going to be the reason you show up to watch. But the mindset was a very big deal to both which is why it is probably working out so well.

With a lot of 5 star and high 4 stars you get kids with entitled attitudes so getting many of those will be difficult because a talented player with a great attitude is pretty rare and sought after.

Penny can let you know the best recruiting classes are not just talent related. I think Sampson has a better grasp on how to recruit.

Unfortunately for us, Sampson is starting to land 5 star players. If he gets them to work the way mick & Sampson get their 5 star guys to work then it will be a problem for both this league & the big 12

That said I think Wes is capable of landing the right kind of 5 star especially with the Big 12 coming.

With the way Wes plays so deep into his bench, I think you only need 1 star player on his teams coupled with a deep versatile bench and it’s a winning recipe
