Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 2191718, member: 1958"] Below is a list of guys since GMac joined in fall of 2011 and who the "lead" was for the following pieces of each class: [U][B] 2012 [/B][/U] Coleman - Hop Grant - Red Gbinije - Red (edit to add) [B][U] 2013 [/U][/B] Ennis - Red Roberson - Not 100% sure if Hop or Red BJ - Hop Buss - Gmac [B][U] 2014 [/U][/B] McCullough - Red Kaleb - Hop [B][U] 2015 [/U][/B] Lydon - Hop Malachi - Hop Frank - Red Diagne - Red [B][U] 2016 [/U][/B] Battle - Hop Moyer - GMac Thompson - Red [U][B]2017[/B][/U] Brissett - Red Sidibe - Sounds like from Francis and Iommi that Hop started things up and GMac took over down the stretch to close HW - Red Hughes - Red [I](I didn't go through each target since November of 2011 because that would be a very inexact exercise; do you only pick guys who visited, guys we offered, guys we "had a hat on the table" for come announcement time, how do you capture guys who had an offer but weren't in a position where we would take their commitment ala Newton, etc.) [/I] We can say GMac just fell victim to the Duke and UK machine for Tucker and Quade, which is probably true, but he's also been here for 6 recruiting classes now and brought in 3 players total - none of which were drawn out battles against powerhouses: Buss - I think he beat out Xavier Moyer - got an offer, visited shortly after and committed almost immediately after the visit. Sidibe - Oklahoma St. and Texas Tech were the other two finalists Still odd we gave him as much responsibility with this class as we did but that's not really GMac's fault. Quade, I wonder if we had Hop running with that are we able to close it out before UK decides to make Quade the priority? Lonnie, I have to think Hop gives us a better chance with his history of Team Final wings in 2015 and 2016 with Malachi and Tyus. [/QUOTE]
