Just read the article and was going to post it. Interesting how recruiting has changed. Pitino supposedly didn't even go out recruiting during the July recruiting period. He was at Wimbledon for some of it.

[I]So, in between games here at Nike's signature grassroots event, Peach Jam, I asked Hodge if he'd noticed whether transfer waivers, NIL deals and revenue sharing have combined to change how power-conference coaches are recruiting high school prospects this summer.

"Yeah, they're not," he said succinctly. "They're not."

On a related note, only 11 prospects ranked in the top 115 in the Class of 2026, according to 247Sports, have publicly committed to a program, as of Wednesday morning. Moreover, one power-conference coach recently told me he doubts he'd accept a commitment from any Class of 2026 prospect right now for reasons I'll explain later. In response to both of these facts, and others, Hodge said his message to his players this year has been a little different than previous messages in previous years.[/I]
