This is my take on it, as well. The precision in targeting specific local recruits and succeeding in getting them to commit will free up man hours to focus on some of the big fish down the line. Those recruits tend to take up much more time with their late decision times and it lets the staff understand how much NIL they’ve got remaining to work with and utilize most effectively. Maintaining a commitment typically is easier than getting one in the first place. I’m sure one or two may fall through but the majority are guys that will be here on signing day.

Even though the transfer portal dominates headlines, in football most of all teams are still going to be your HS recruits (outside of a few places like Ole Miss and Colorado, which is still TBD in how it works). It’s much easier to build a basketball roster entirely out of transfers than football. I love our strategy to identify the local athletes we think have the traits to be developed into big time players, as opposed to relying entirely on guys from other regions.
