1) You're picking a fight with someone who largely agrees with your overall point (our recruiting is getting better) on a board where the majority seem to think we're doomed.
2) You're claiming that there's one - and only one - reason our recruiting appears to be picking up. You're dismissing out of hand the notion that a postseason ban, or conference realignment, or general questions about KO's coaching ability had/have any effect on our ability to go after and land top prospects.

Or the uncertainty in transitioning from a HOF coach to a young unproven guy. Or that KO was rumored to be interested-in/ considered-for NBA head coaching gigs. Or the fact that KO got a long term contract.

And so on. Mutual exclusivity is all the rage on the internet.

Final 15? Did he even make any cuts?

Not sure Cuse ever offered, but there was some mutual interest before their sanctions.

I don't know why and have no information but he's got Kansas written all over him.

And Matrim55... I think us "getting on recruits earlier" has a lot less to do with the staff working together for several years, and a lot more to do with that fact that THEY CAN... now that the restrictions have been lifted.

Think about it... do some research on just what I am talking about... then get back to me.

I thought about it, and concluded you're a jerk. If you posted more here, you'd know you insulted the wrong Yarder.

2013: 1 4-star (Facey), 0 top 50
2014: 2 4-stars (Hamilton, Purvis), 1 top 50
2015: 2 4-stars (Adams, Enoch), 2 top 50s

It still needs to get better. I'm disappointed we didn't close on Stone back in the autumn, that would couldn't poach Mack, and that we never really got back into the hunt for Dorsey. But the "we're doomed!" crowd is absolutely wearying given the information at hand and the trendline for the future.

Gosh. I sure was right.

2016: 5 4-stars, 3 top 50s (Gilbert, Durham, Larrier)

Can't wait to see what our 2017 class turns into.

I'm sure he'll be ready to jump into the conversation he was having a year and a half ago.

Haha. Didn't look at dates.

Andre Rafus eliminated us today. He held an offer but it doesn't seem like we were seriously pursuing him really. Never heard much chatter about him at all other than the last time he trimmed his list down to 15.

No Rafus?? He's already Killings us, fire him!

lol at him listing UK. He should've included the Yankees and Real Madrid while he's at it - just as likely to sign with them.

I thought that was weird also. Verbal commits doesn't even show him holding a UK offer.
