Someone please to me how a second year coach at a small private school in the SEC with no elite b-ball history lands two top 10 players, including one (Simi) from way outside their recruiting area, and another 4-star recruit. It doesn’t add up at all. JB has a track record of 42 years as a HC fielding NCAA tourney teams almost every year at an elite program that he built, taking his teams far in the dance, winning championships and getting his players drafted by the NBA. And we play in the best b-ball conference in the country in one of the most iconic venues, and we rarely even try to compete for top 10 recruits anymore. What are we doing wrong here in selling this program? Why did we seem to fade away from recruiting Simi even before we landed Baze? (There must be something going on with his recruitment.) And how in gods green earth is Bryce Drew landing two top 10 guys at Vandy in his second year? It’s baffling. Is this a Book Richardson situation? I think that some coaches have long felt that his brother Scott was up to shady stuff at Baylor, so who knows.
I have a friend at work who went to Vandy despite the fact that he grew up a big SU fan. His parents and brothers went to SU and are huge fans. He told me that Vandy is “dropping the bags” for the big recruits. He flat out says that Bryce Drew pays for his boys.
