Lot of schools.. no SU.
Yep...just kinda touched on this in the post below. We don't throw our hat in the ring often with kids it seems like. Are we too selective? Does it hurt to put feelers out there and see if there's any mutual interest?Lot of schools.. no SU.
Bad, when you are not close to being a selector schoolNot a transfer but a decommit. I feel like we are VERY selective with reaching out to kids. Always see certain schools reach out and put the feelers out but very rarely see our name attached to these kids. We don't cast a very wide net...not sure if that's good or bad in the grand scheme of things.

That seems like a bad strategy if thats how we go forward with recruiting the portal. It doesn't have to be a Cole Swider situation where there's already a relationship established. Also doesn't hurt to reach out and see if there's any interest in our program...seems like that would be a very easy step to take. Previous relationship or not we need to go after the best available guys.We didn't pay any attention to him during his first recruitment. I can't see us getting involved on the rebound.

The kid picked LSU, I think it’s pretty clear why we didn’t even sniff around. If his recruitment is going a similar way the second time around, we likely steer clear.We didn't pay any attention to him during his first recruitment. I can't see us getting involved on the rebound.

Gotchya. Still applies.This kid isn't a portal.
He's a 2023 who decommitted.

We could use a swag daddy for the basketball program!In all fairness, we didn't show any interest in Mintz until after he decommitted from Pitt.
But Mintz is at Oak Hill, a school we've had luck with before.
Allen is in Florida. Maybe we should send Swag Daddy?
interesting
Just because
