Brantley is a loss that hurts because we have had him for so long and it seemed like another one of those kids there were under the radar when he committed but come January a lot of big schools would come knocking. We have been able to hang onto them. This is really the first one besides Glashen that we have lost. Maybe the kid had a bad visit but that does not mean Marrones philosophy on visits is bad. I have read a lot of kids have loved there visits (see JPO).
 
It sucks to lose Brantley but lets not overreact. I still think the size and athleticism is the best it has been in years, and with an already young team the first season in the ACC should be entertaining. 
 
The negative side to this story and recruiting in general continues to be facilities. Until we have something comparable to the Melo center, it will hurt us. It is HUGE when it comes to recruiting and especially visits. Let's hope Doc Gross can get it done. (there is already plans in order but I meant more like an indoor practice facility.)
