They’re headed in the right direction and I think they hired the right coach. It doesn’t hurt that they’re in the Big 10. That was a very fortuitous thing for them. They don’t have a great or even very good basketball history. But they’re recruiting top players right now. I hate to admit it but they now compete with us for players in the northeast.
I don’t know about ranking coaching staffs but ours is obviously good no great, in recruiting, game planning, the works, that I do know. We have the pieces, the coach and the staff and that means quite simply that we are in play for great things to happen. How long can we keep them here?
I wonder if chief is going to go on a campaign for samson and clingan to log a lot of minutes together
Well he definitely looked 7” taller when he game into the game. No knock on AS (an all time great Husky now) but DC is just huge. He is 7’2” without shoes.
They're not competing with us for players we truly want. They're Rutgers. They are competing with the likes of Providence, who are in the category of going after our sloppy seconds.
So we didn’t want Gavin Griffiths? And wouldn’t want Dylan Harper or Ace Bailey? That’s your story and you’re sticking to it?
Only one we went after was Griffiths and there's clearly a strong relationship there with Pikiell and the family.
Well seeing how we never even offered Harper or Bailey, I'd say yeah I feel pretty good about my story.
We did want Griffiths. He went to Rutgers.
True but we lost out on Griffiths, and Rutgers can pull 5 star players now. Acting like they’re only recruiting scrubs or leftovers is false.
We beat them out for Corey Floyd Jr and Donovan Clingan who both had Rutgers on their final lists, and they also offered Sanogo and Diggins
Who and Clingan?
What kind of garbage rating system is that. Lol
He has really bad on/off splits that are big factors in BPR. That and he's a 1 year eligibility player that was a 2* HS recruit. Other metrics like him a lot, but not BPR.
