[QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2204053, member: 488"] And who do you think that booster is getting their information from? We all know it's flimsy to place too much stock in the words of second hand sources and at its worst all of this recruiting gossip becomes a bad game of telephone. But there has been enough smoke to enough recruitments at this point to piece together this narrative you speak of. It isn't just Oz, who I think is being unfairly scapegoated - it's also 99 and recently huskyforlife. I mean we can even go back to the initial Tevin Mack recruitment in the fall of 2014 or whenever it was when 99 posted something indicating we were in great shape and it never materialized. Then there was the Diamond Stone recruitment, the Diallo debacle, the Diarra "formality" (though I'm unsure how much the staff wanted him), and now this in addition to at least a couple others I'm missing. Ultimately only the bottom line matters, but I think it's fair to look at a couple of these recruitments and conclude one of the following: 1. The staff is extremely liberal with the information they give out and doesn't really care if they turn out to be wrong. 2. The staff is misinterpreting the cues they get from recruits and projecting confidence where it shouldn't exist. The first one doesn't really matter. It's not their job to make sure the boneyard knows what is going on and if we have to take "we're in good shape with player x" in the same vein as "so and so put on 40 pounds of muscle" back in the Calhoun days, so be it. If it's the second one it means they don't know how to play the game. And that's a big problem. I have a hard time believing it is the second one if only because Chill is so acclaimed. Sometimes you just lose, and there is nothing you can do. I'm disappointed that he hasn't done more to salvage the 2017 class, but we're going to have to give him at least 2018 before we decide whether the move has paid off. [/QUOTE]
