Message: [QUOTE="UChusky916, post: 2061143, member: 1222"] Ollie is not Calhoun. Ollie clearly has a different recruiting strategy rather than finding the 'diamonds in the rough' that Calhoun could. KO has been after many of the top 25 kids nationally, while also spreading a wider net. And yes, KO has been reeling in top 25 kids on the reg. And he's done it while in a worse conference than Calhoun had the luxury of AND while dealing with recruiting sanctions: KO's recruits: -DeAndre Daniels ([B]16th [/B]in 247 2011 recruits) -- Don't tell me this was Calhoun's recruit, it wasn't. -Andre Drummond (nr due to late qualifying, but arguably [B]top 3 [/B]recruit in 2011) -- Again, don't tell me this was Calhoun's recruit. Calhoun was non-committal on coaching in 2012 and we just lost our top recruiter, LaFleur, to Providence. KO got him here. -Rodney Purvis ([B]14th [/B]in 247 2013 rankings) -Daniel Hamilton ([B]17th [/B]in 247 2014 rankings) -Jalen Adams ([B]23rd[/B] in 247 2015 rankings) Then you've also got guys on the top 30 borderline: -Terry Larrier: ([B]33 [/B]in 2015) -Alterique Gilbert ([B]32 [/B]in 2017) Considering the above and that he's been a head coach for 5 years, you simply can't say that KO can't reel-in Top25 guys.
