Class of 2023 PF Joseph "JP" Estrella (ME / Brewster) Offered

[Sherman20]

I mean the bar was low. When he is visiting recruits in their HS gyms, thats when I would call it “he is putting in effort”

Exactly. Every year he goes to all the major AAU tourneys in mid-summer (Peach Jam, Adidas, etc.) but he doesn’t go to the early summer AAU games (maybe coaches aren’t allowed then?) or any high school games. I don’t know what difference it would make, but you have to think it would make some impression on these kids, and every little bit helps. I don’t know what other coaches are doing, but you do see Calipari and others popping up at high school games.

He didn’t mail it in last year. He was all over the place. You can check those threads from last year and see people, maybe even you, saying the same things.

Ok he didn't mail it in and yes, he landed an excellent class. I'm glad Hes still working it but let's not confuse Jims's efforts with some of the other coaches.

College coach’s attending a HS game is rare. If you see someone did, it’s a one off. I bet we’ve had a coach at a HS game but it’s not a common occurrence. Several good reasons for it not being common. The colleges play/practice 6 days a week. Not every school has an unlimited travel budget. Etc. Wasn’t it Elmarko that said prior to these big tournaments that JB had seen a lot of his games? Where? How?

I watch a lot of these tournaments and other big games. I don’t see 300 coaches. I don’t even see 100. Why did Miller miss all but one of Ducharmes games?

Its not rare at all to go to HS games and open gyms during the college bball year. Coach Cal has many many faults but he grinds. He goes after actual games to HS gyms. Just 1 example

No doubt Cal gets a lot of frequent flyer miles on his private jet. Maybe Adam will lend his to JB...

Any games going on today while JB was the the B.A. game? How about on Sunday?

Big tournaments are like corporate conventions. You need to go to show face but there is not a lot of real work done. The real work is done with the day to day.

You've obviously forgotten when Michael Scott broke Staples' exclusive hold on Hammermill products and secured a deal with the company for Dunder Mifflin at the Northeastern Mid-Market Office Supply Convention

Touché. Michael Scott is a true outlier.

That is why I never decline an invitation at conventions.

[hoopsupstate]

But, what about the 3 crystal balls? We should all know by now that crystal balls are not the end all. Just look at Mintz! This is good news and we have the last visit.
