Message: [QUOTE="RoofBeam, post: 1773227, member: 4108"] As everyone knows, recruiting has gotten complicated by all the options excellent players have now. I don't think this staff excels at talent evaluation- not that they are incompetent but I suspect that they don't work as hard at it as some other staffs and this part of coaching has gotten much more important in the last decade. Missing on one player, especially if you have invested a lot of scholarship money in that player, can be devastating to the program for several years. I don't know what kind of scholarship money Evan is getting, for example, but imagine this year's team with the kind of player that Evans was thought to be coming out of high school, a true number 1 attacker who could create shots on his own, draw double teams, be an immediate mismatch for whomever was guarding him, and generally create havoc for the opposing defense. Who knows what players were not recruited because of Evans? [/QUOTE]
