Exactly, and for us to completely whiff on much of the high end talent this year in our limited recruiting region should set off alarm bells.

People keep trying to shrug off the disappointing 2017 class as one of those "welp quade flipped late - it happens" but that's not being honest. We missed on Richards, Lonnie, Randolph, Bamba isn't even considering us, we seemed to have fallen out of the race for Diallo and didn't give Washington or Coleman a legit recruitment. I mean we had Lonnie Walker, a 5 star wing from PA and our hot bed Team Final, say in an interview he hadn't heard from the staff in awhile and had no clue if they were even going to come watch him during the live period.  That's a probable McD AA who plays our biggest position of need and some say grew up an SU fan saying a month or two before his decision that he hasn't heard from the staff and isn't sure if they'll come visit him when coaches are out seeing their big priorities.

As a note to be clear I'm VERY happy and excited for Brisset and Sidibe. Think both will be great pieces for us but for them to be our only 2 signings in a year where we need a huge class and had all that high end talent in our wheelhouse areas is a disappointment.
