Sure, now that he's got a new tractor and a gym bag full of cash.

I had to come over here to see if he was good. I follow basketball on occasion, but recruiting and Brey are not usually fun.

 

[pearl31]

lol

IF we don’t get JJ, then yes -
Hating La Lumiere is definitely on the docket.

Game On!

Too soon! Not welcome.

I don't know how college coaches do this. They spend THAT much time recruiting a kid to have it end like this. Recruiting is one hell of a tough business. I feel for Boeheim and company. I know they're probably used to it, but still, it's gotta hurt.

 

[CardiacCuse]

so was he just trolling all the current orange players with his recent social media love?

 

[OrlandoCuse]

You fly back to school now, little Starling. Fly, fly, fly. Fly, fly, fly.

 

[the villager]

The only way that academics play into the choice is if he stays long enough to get his degree.

I feel for the assistant coaches. I do not feel for Boeheim one bit. If he worked harder on recruiting, these would be layup recruits for this program. The asst coaches keep the kids this interested and then realize they don’t want to play for a very old man regardless of legacy

all we did all summer was see JB on the road and people talked about how much more involved he’s been.

 

[City of Cuse]

I've been pretty vocal about how much I like Copeland. Never really cared either way about JJ. I like others more than him.

Hope he does well.

I dont know one way or the other but from what is talked about on here over the years do you believe JB stays in contact with recruits like some of these other (younger) head coaches do? Genuinely asking? It seems the head coaches at some other programs do a lot of the heavy lifting and establish relationships with these kids where our assistants do most of the heavy lifting and JB tries to close. JB doesn't strike me as a big phone guy let alone DMing kids on all the numerous different social media accounts other coaches utilize.

The ND fans are not very fond of my post lol

I saw somewhere Starling mentioned that he felt good about the bond he built with Brey and that helped him decide on ND.

Not the end of the world.

Ding ding ding.
rrlbees yes he is traveling more but that doesn’t mean he wants to. These are in and out trips. kids want to literally spend so much time with head coaches and that’s where Griff and Gmac and red have become so close with these kids because they are the ones texting and calling and checking in constantly. But the kids desire this from the guy they are going to be playing for, not asst coaches
