Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 4215233, member: 652"] Don’t forget it was Mike Hopkins relationship with Gary Battle and staying in contact with him that helped keep us in it with Battle and eventualy flip him. The idea that JB has done well in recruiting these past years is just narrative. What JB has done is get enough out of what he has had on the roster to not bottom out. We didn’t bring a guard in last year’s HS class. The only PG we brought in the last 3 years was KR who left. We didn’t bring in a SG since Joe Girard 4 years ago who has been thrown in as a PG. These are conscious decisions. The narrative people just want to defend the status quo. Though the narrative people lost the ability to say we have never had a losing season. Defense used to matter and I imagine after the last few years defense will matter again. [/QUOTE]
