You said we didn't miss out on most of our priority recruits.

That's not true.

Let's rank the individuals the coaching staff thought we had a chance with:

Dior Johnson - Guard - #28 overall ESPN
JJ Starling - Guard - #17 overall ESPN
Donovan Clingan - Center - #51 overall ESPN
Kamari Lands - Forward - #39 overall ESPN
Chance Westry - Guard/Forward - #32 overall ESPN
Kyle Filipowski - Forward/Center - #5 overall ESPN
Roddy Gayle - Guard - #57 overall ESPN
Zion Cruz - Guard - #72 overall ESPN

That's eight guys, all rated in the Top 75 nationally. We got zero of them.

With the exception of Taylor, we did not get a single guy that was our first choice at any position. And in multiple cases we didn't get the top two or three choices we had.

How is that not missing out on the majority of our priority recruits this year? Your argument holds no water.

I will add an additional nugget to this as well. George Mason - GEORGE MASON - who went 14-16 this year and finished 8th in the Atlantic 10 - has the top player on the prep team that two of our current commits play for. Dayton, VCU, and Boise State have players committed that are higher ranked than our best player in this class.
