Message: [QUOTE="TheHorde, post: 4774775, member: 12735"] This staff is far too bright to waste time on the recruiting trail. They clearly had enough “buy” signals from Flagg and Ngongba to pursue them as doggedly as they did. They also clearly felt that they were culture fits, willing to be coached hard, and not in it purely for the NIL dollars. They likely also wanted to use this as a test case to see if the national title and putting kids in the lottery and the league would change the calculus again where players as highly ranked as a Donyell Marshall or Andre Drummond would again choose UConn. This time it did not. Perhaps that means a pivot will be forthcoming to targeting recruits more in the 25-75 ranking range again. We shall see. [/QUOTE]
