Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4988446, member: 181"] As I recall it, we were very much interested in Filipowski, and the feeling was mutual. And then Duke showed interest, and it was game over. UConn's New England prep star interest pivoted to Alex. And major efforts succeeded in not having his transfer to IMG break the connection. Correspondingly, there were high hopes that Donovan's AAU competition provided reliable indication that he wouldn't be too far behind in his development because he stayed local and played a lower level of competition within CIAC basketball at Bristol Central. For those who like simple equations, 2>0. (Times 2) Kyle's questionable sportsmanship moves probably reflect his frustrations more than his personality, at least to the extent that we would have been thrilled to have recruited him successfully, whereas Grayson Allen seems pretty tough to defend. As a final thought, it might not be too much of a stretch to consider that the recruiting victory with Liam McNeeley might represent the successful flowering from lessons learned during the recruitment of Cooper Flagg. In that sense, the, "It was much closer than you think" narrative may have indeed been a better view of second place than in David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross" [MEDIA=youtube]wVQPY4LlbJ4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
