Message: [QUOTE="EastCoast2, post: 2135296, member: 488"] JB, Hop, and G-Mac are not Coach K and Syracuse is not Duke. We can't send an assistant in an Orange polo and get the same emotional reaction from a HS player as seeing a UK or Duke polo in the stands. If the next 2-3-4 years of the program depend on a handful of recruits, which it very well may, JB needs to show maximum face and maximum love for these ~5 players. He can't be staying home in Jamesville watching Netflix. I think you're very wrong about your last point. I think recruits care about who shows up to their games/events. Players would much rather see Calipari than a UK assistant. They'd rather see Sean Miller than whatever assistant is in that state that given weekend. Sending JB messages to recruits "you're our priority" while sending G-Mac says "you're one of several recruits we're evaluating so we're covering all bases". JB needs to get out there. [/QUOTE]
