No, because it solidifies the team -- solid talent on par with what's already here; adding depth. The team will be quite good (Gaffney & Cole at PG; Bouknight, Richmond, BAdams, Sid on the wing; Akok, Polley as stretch 4s; Cardwell, Carlton, Springs, Whaley as bigs -- this is a solid team, lacking in stars but 2 deep with solid players everywhere. Once you have that level of depth you can be more aggressive in recruiting and pitch the 5* on being the last missing piece.

Playing in the Big East, winning games and getting into the NCAA tourney, seeing an attractive style of play played by guys recruited for that style (Hurley guys not Ollie guys) -- all of these things will help recruiting.

We're in good shape as a program. It's more about instant gratification if you're disappointed.

Think then of 2021-22. We'll lose three backups: Whaley, Sid, and Tyler, plus Josh. The team could really see a significant upgrade with that class. The team is going to be getting better every year through the 2022-23 season. That steady improvement is going to impress recruits and prep/AAU/high school coaches.

The future is bright.
