Message: [QUOTE="SoBeCuse, post: 2181725, member: 796"] Still lots of unknowns. We're not even sure if the system and brand here is still attractive enough to recruits. I'll be reassured if SU can get Tucker, Wilson, or Ayala but all these seem 50/50 at best now. What are recent players telling their friends about the coaching and vibe here? How is JB perceived amongst 17-18 year olds? How much damage does him trashing players to the media, not being a mentor/teacher/father-figure type, etc., do with current recruits? Even Larranaga I heard on Sirius talk a lot about getting to truly know these young men, take an interest in their lives to help mold them, etc. Aside from the intense teaching and hands on coaching he does. Those players will run through walls for him, Buzz, Frank Martin, etc. Just curious and honest questions. [/QUOTE]
