I don't think people are saying JB doesn't recruit at all.  People are saying he only goes to AAU events and doesn't visit kids at their school which does matter.  Are you saying you read an article that JB is in Canada visiting Brissett at his school.  If so I would love to see it.  I also disagree regarding our history and what we are currently doing.  We recruited Philadelphia hard and it resulted in recruits like Rak, Scoop, Dion and Ric Jackson coming here.  Lonnie Walker made comments we didn't even call him for good stretches of time let alone come and see him play regularly.  We needed him and didn't put the effort in to have a reasonable shot because I'm guessing we thought he would just go to Nova which didn't happen.  I agree 2 people on the road is a big problem and part of it.  The other thing people say is that JB doesn't have the same fire to recruit that K, Cal and Self  have which I think is probably true and a problem since we got up against them for the top kids.  I love JB and I'm the ultimate JB guy but these are real problems.  Also Francis isn't the only one saying these things.
