Is Geno losing his touch?
(Semi-seriously, Geno's post season recruiting burst has been like crack. Don't leave me hanging G, I need some more.)
Fear not my friend, like the Somali pirate (in the movie Captain Phillips) kept telling the captain, “everything’s going to be OK”
If you've read my comments, you know that I’m an optimist that always sees the glass as half full. I believe that Geno and staff have been working diligently daily since the season ended to identify and determine those in the transfer portal they should take a close look at, then inquire of those they like, to see if there’s any mutual interest.
They should have done their due diligence by now and made contact with players of interest. That’s how they secured a commitment from Adebayo. We heard absolutely nothing about the staff attempting to work a deal until Adebayo's announcement; no rumors, nothing. I believe their active recruitment of players for next season is done. Everyone they’re interested in should have already been contacted. In the recruiting game, when you snooze, ya lose.
I also believe Geno has secured verbals from a BIG and one other player for next year. He’s allowing them (as coaches do) to make the announcement via social media at their discretion. He does not want to steal their thunder by announcing it.
As I commented in another thread, I believe that all of the new additions to the team will be revealed by the end of the month. So until then, relax, put your feet up and have a cold one, knowing that everything is going to be OK. June 1st will bring us good tidings.
