Besides maybe Jackson do you really believe we lead with any of these kids? Why aren’t they mentioning us more in interviews? why aren’t recruiting gurus linking us more often with some of these kids? why aren’t there more players taking unofficials? Xavier seems to be confident in Lane; Cliff, Cam and Lance all still seem like long shots to me. Hate to sound like a pessimist but it seems like we are behind where we were last year.
Lead? Hard to say. Fairly in the mix or better? Yes.
I don't listen to interviews, no comment there.
The insiders are linking us w these players. It's just in private because of how much they get roasted when a kid changes his mind on this board. Zion used to be much more active on here, for one example.
We just moved to the big east a month ago. Kids are unbelievably busy through August. Visits will happen in the fall. Give it time.
Xavier is condident in Lane. Of the 4 recruits you mention, he's probably the least likely. The other 3 are far from longshots. I know for as close to a fact as possible in recruiting that Cliff is barely, if ever, being contacted by Kentucky and Jackson has had his eye on UConn since May.
We're not behind. Our first commitments weren't until September for 2019. And better players commit later--the timeline is pushed back every year for top 100 players. Some kids commit on official visits or shortly after, some wait until the hs season is starting, others until the spring. No one is commiting in July without a visit a week after peach jam
