Message: [QUOTE="tptcuse, post: 2007338, member: 1119"] This may be correct, but has anyone mentioned (I haven't scoured through all of the posts) that the sanctions have created a jigsaw puzzle approach to recruiting? There used to be a clear strategy to get mostly guys who would stay for a few years, plus one or two five stars. Now, the coaching staff has to get whomever is available and is ranked highly, even if they don't fit into any system. Gillon AND White? How does this square with trying to develop Howard and start Battle, who were the original recruits. It is almost like the two grad transfers became available and the staff took them simply because they could, not because they fit into the roster---especially given the previous general reluctance to use transfers. In other words they were filling the open scholarships with desperate players wanting to showcase themselves in a bigger spotlight. Not a recipe for a great, unselfish team. [/QUOTE]
