Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3831249, member: 40"] AND recruiting is a two way street. Just because you offer somebody doesn't mean that they'll come to your school, even when they are prospects from the program's "back yard." We all know that modern recruiting is about players looking for the best path to PT. I'm sure that Torrence didn't envision Carey [a highly rated recruit] flopping, Goodine not panning out, etc. What he was probably looking at was an extremely crowded backcourt depth chart -- which prompted him to opt for another program. BTW, not suggesting that Symir is going to step right in and be a good performer -- who knows. He was behind a stud at Marquette, but his statistics [not the entire measure of a player's worth] aren't confidence inspiring. But I wouldn't dismiss him as a poor "get" based only on that -- he's an experienced player coming from a good conference -- let's see how he performs in practice before writing him off. [/QUOTE]
