2020 Recruiting: Niels Lane Visiting

[scoscox]

sorry. i'll stop now

 

[Scrutineer]

You guys realize Lane visited on Friday? It was a one day visit.

I would be shocked if he doesn't end up at Florida. Pretty well known in recruiting circles he is close to a lock.

I've posted a question a couple times before and hope you have some insights.

How and why has Florida suddenly started to get so many highly ranked players?

Their coach has gone 21-15, 27-9, 21-13 and 20-16 during his four years. Not exactly a rising trend. his best season was with somebody else's recruits, and yet he's gotten a five star and two four stars in each of the last two classes.

It's funny because he is so little.

I wonder about that as well. It’s also why I’m skeptical about all this hype for them.

i don't think it's that sudden. this is their first top 10 class under white but the program has been consistently getting top 20 classes for the last decade (median class of 18/19!) theyre just a top 15-20 bball program in general. it's not like white has gotten off to a bad start by winning a game in the tourney 3 years in a row and never having fewer than 20 wins in a season. sounds pretty good to me.

Cinci will always be the only AAC team that was worth hating. They can't take that away from you.

lmao wait til you play the 13th graders at xavier. only then will you know what it truly means to hate.

A team that consistently gets top 20 classes is a top 5-10 team in talent. (Most schools getting top 20 classes will be in there 10-50% of the time. Only a few elite schools are top 20 every year.)

This suggests Florida has really under-performed their talent level.

It's almost like they didn't get the message that we have no shot.

A little telling that Hurley won’t be there.

More of a let down that he won’t be there because of Cliff. Seems like Hurley is going down swinging on his major big man again

Sometimes you got to pick your poison, Hopefully Cliff notices & Lane understands. Catch a break a get them both, that would tip the tables our way for Cam.....BAM!

Hurley won't be there because he is recovering from surgery. So not that telling.

 

[WhartonHusky]

I can't wait until something is actually telling. I need to be told.

Was just going to edit that in. But I still wouldn’t hold your breath with either of those guys FWIW

Oh I completely agree, I’m still going to be an optimist and till it doesn’t happen and then I’ll be a pessimist. It’s a vicious cycle.

The surgery will be a problem. What the opponents will be hinting about his health, etc. will really hurt with some of the kids they're after.

You can't be serious, come on now

Not saying it’s the same situation, but this did hurt Thad Matta after his health problems

 

[olehead]

Florida with Billy Donovan I get. But now, there is no debate which sport is king of the swamp. Football. Them suddenly back on the recruitment map smells a little like the LSU come-up. Stay tuned, or who cares anymore.

I agree, recruiting is dirty like that. Guarantee that’s exactly what the Cuse assistants will be saying and worse.
Jay Wright learned his lesson.after Calhoun confronted him on it and manned up.

He just got surgery so I don't think he will be going anywhere.

It's not like he was sick and with a terminal disease. He just got back surgery to relieve pain. This shouldn't be a reoccurring problem. Sure are some overreacting fans out there.
