so hurley watched a player that's already committed more than anyone else? i understand the need to keep up a presence but to that extent?

He said before or early on at the Peach Jam that he was deciding shortly after. That makes me assume he had a decent idea at that time who he was going to pick.
 
dang man I really like this kid. It seems to be pointing to Gtown.

Have to take into account the games played, Anglin's team went deep so they had more chances. 8 times in 10 games for Anglin, 8 times in 5 games for Starling

sure but floyd only played 1 more game than rodgers yet hurley watched them 5x versus 1x. guess we also assumed rodgers was a bigger target than turns out.

the 6x and 2x for starling couldve been a total of 2 games out of 5 with 3 assistants and hurley at each.

Could be they are comfortable with guards they have and are fine going in to the spring with Karaban , Floyd, and Clingan . If it does turn out they need a guard there will be plenty in the transfer portal . I believe Dan also spent a lot of time watching the 16s games which would make sense if 22 class is almost set with Karaban .

Watching already committed players a lot is normal. Plus we are clearly targetting Team Final as a program to invest our time in. They have a ton of young talent. Tom has a great relationship with the program... we need to keep investing.

I'd focus on the staff members per game. There's such a range of games played because of Covid.

Starling only played in 5 games. We have 1.2 staff members per game vs 0.7 staff per game for Anglin.

Floyd - 0.9 (Dan at 33% of his games)
Anglin - 0.7 (Dan at 10% of his games)
Starling - 1.2 (Dan at 40% of his games)
Karaban - 1.8 (Dan at 50% of his games)
Rogers - 1.4 (Dan at 7% of his games)

Totally an imperfect way of measuring this. The schedule has a big impact on who we were able to watch. But it seems pretty clear that Karaban is priority #1. And we really didn't watch Floyd as the #s would suggest... he was playing 2-3 days later than everyone when most teams have left. We probably would have Karaban at a 2.5 or more here if he had played through the finals too.
 
1) I think we forgot what happened in the past when coaches didn’t keep up with committed recruits.
2) I’m sure if there are rumors of Floyd coming this year, Dan prob wanted to get a good look at how he’d fit in, his level of readiness, etc

Well he is Corey’s coach now...
 
Sorry. Not familiar with this kid. Why are people so thrilled about Top 150 3 star. Is KO our coach again?

By most accounts, he's vastly underanked. He is one of the best shooters in the class and that is an area of need for us. Also, he just had a pretty solid showing at the Peach Jam where he shot a great percentage from 3.

Danny watching is the bell weather. There is a coverage of various games by assistants, not only to see top targets but to see if someone else elevates themselves.

Floyd plays with and against some very good players, so far from a shock that Hurley was at his games more often than not.

But also, you don’t stop recruiting your own recruits until you see them on campus unpacking their stuff.

Sr. Gaffney, Soph Diggins, Fr Floyd, Soph Hawkins, and Andre Jackson is a lot of competition for perimeter minutes. PT is probably not an easy sell to guards at this point.

And potentially even Cole returning. This feels more like a nice to get than need to get.

My question is why even post? And the KO addition, just brilliant, well thought out.

Still a fair question. Why are folks going to be "devastated" if we don't land this particular 3 star?

This kid is an outstanding shooter, a pure shooter. He fits with all the athletes we have, esp a key guy like Andre, who is awesome but can't shoot at all. He is a ZONE-BUSTER!!! Someone showed some stats showing he was #1 in 3 Pt % at the Peach Jam, yes #1!

Further, he's an undersized two in Myles Powell, Markus Howard, even CV mold, those kind of kids are dominant college players potentially because you have them 4 years.

The same reason folks would've been "devastated" if we missed out on 60th ranked recruit James Bouknight.
 
He hasn’t even committed anywhere yet. None of the national guys with credibility have made a forecast yet. Can we just sit back and wait
