Is anyone else getting fed up when you see the names of Jerome Hunter and Darius Bazley (Ohio guys) and nothing on UC recruiting them. They are top guys in 2018, from Ohio, yet you see Purdue, Xavier, Michigan, and OSU on them.

I trust Cornin, I really do, but I do get frustrated about this kind of stuff, especially seeing what Luke Fickell is pulling off.

I have no doubt that Mick is trying. I think he's trying to figure out how *much* to try, though. You don't want to put all kinds of time and effort into a kid that has no interest in going to your school. Mick said a year or two ago that once he realized Luke Kennard had no interest in UC, he moved on and started focusing on Jacob Evans, who we obviously ended up landing. If Mick had continued to pursue Kennard, we never would've landed Evans.

I think we're able to land Cincy kids (KJ, Cumberland), but it feels like we have a tough time with Ohio kids 50+ miles outside of Cincy.

Yeah I know I agree but when it's Duke that a kid wants to go to over your school it's a little more understanding than the other schools I listed.

But what do you do if a kid from the start isn't returning your calls or texts as the head coach of a school? Do you just continue to contact him and attend his games? I want recruiting to pick up as well; believe me. I just don't know what the solution is (in regards to things the university can control).

Yeah I'm assuming that both kids have made it clear that they don't want to come to UC so Cronin isnt going to waste his time.

Agree with this. If they don't want to come here, what can you do. If they have zero interest, you might as well move on. Kind of like kennard

Yeah I guess I just cant understand how 2 top kids in Ohio have zero interest in coming here, and neither are going to a Duke/UK type school but have interest in the other local schools. I guess that is what makes me angry.

I think I posted this a week or two ago, but Bazley is trying to go as high-major as possible. I can't imagine he goes to a school like X. He's aiming for UK. Maybe Mick sees that.
