Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 5334621, member: 41"] Hop had ties with all the Eastern AAU programs. He would be on 14-15 year old kids before they blew up, and some of them stayed loyal to him. Hop didn't have any Western AAU connections, and he wasn't at Washington long enough to develop them. And now a lot of his eastern connections have probably faded by now. Red & staff have current ties to Eastern AAU programs. He has kids in the pipeline he's been recruiting for years, just like Hop used to do. But we whiffed on last year's portal. That's why Kline was hired in June, to make sure we get our "bang for our buck" in the next portal which opens in April. [/QUOTE]
