I feel like derailing the thread so I’m going to ask a question about Luke Murray.
Do we know which 2022 or 2023 recruits he is close with?
I posted this a few days ago, but it didn't get much traction because of the derailment... might help answer your question.

FWIW... these are all the recruits from 2022-2024 that I see in Murray's follows on Instagram. If nothing else, it makes it clear that he is going to expand our recruiting footprint into the mid-west and south... and that he's probably focusing on 2023, outside of getting us back in the mix with Karaban and Filipowski. Seems to have relationships with mid-west EYBL teams, particularly brad beal elite. I may have missed a few, but I think it's fairly complete.
Anyone know if we stand a chance with any of these 4*/5* guys?
