So, am I going to lock this thread, or are we going to talk about JJ?

Your choice.

I want to know why Dash is worried about ND. Is it because of playing time?

I know Hubb, Goodwin, Ryan and Wertz are seniors. That is a lot of playing time opening up, even if a couple of them return for the extra season.

Notre Dame should be the least of out worries. It's Cuse Duke or Stanford. And no he didn't take another official to Stanford because they aren't recruiting him well enough, he visited very recently

Yeah. Does Duke have any competition that might sway this left to commit?

They did just get a guard in the 22 class Dariq Whitehead not too long ago. Not sure how that plays out. Also I'm not convinced Roach will be ready to jump pro so that makes at least two guys. Not sure about other recruits for them...

Some have labeled Whitehead as a forward though as I am reading so...

Duke steamrolled the competition with Flip. I really don't like them being the last visit for JJ as it appears now...
Expand...
neither do I. Last usually wins out. Close: “Your assist numbers will be outta sight just by passing to Flip. You’re guaranteed one and done….then on to millions in the NBA. We have the best agents to introduce you to, blah, blah, blah”. JJ signs then and there on the dotted line. ( I wish my mind said otherwise, but this is how Dook operates)

According to Verbal Commits, Duke has only offered 2 other guards outside of JJ Starling and Dariq Whitehead (committed 5 star). Anthony Black (4 star) seems to have Crystal Balls for Vtech and the other guard is right outside of the top 100.

Also, Duke can easily get good guards from the transfer portal if need be.

Sounds like we mismanaged the entire situation….not the first time either.

Really? Why? Because we probably won't get him? Kids would rather play for Duke. In the last 50 years, We rarely beat them out for players they wanted. The kid isn't a Syracuse fan. He is a UNC fan and if they would have offered, this would have been wrapped up long ago.
We are still trying. I guess we shouldn't have taken Dior Johnson. A lifelong Syracuse fan. Or the commit from Lands.
I am not a big fan on how we have recruited in the past. But for the life of me, I can't imagine what we could have not done to make you say that. If we were all in from the jump, i think we would be right where we are right now. Fighting for our lives. We aren't out of it just behind.

No. Going all in on Lands for 6 months will cost us just like it did with Bazely no matter how you put it. Maybe they turn it around, but it doesn’t seem like we know where to go post Lands.

Yeah you can’t hold this against the staff

this appears to be trending to Duke…

The article said his recent visit to Stanford counts as one of his 5 senior year officials. Wonder if they still in play.
 
I don’t know I don’t think selling a player on “the guy we took and who publicly said he’d play at the top of zone is no longer coming so we need you now” isn’t exactly a way to make a player feel prioritized. Especially someone we’ve been on for years

I get it though, the staff almost had to take Lands commitment no matter how big of a surprise it was - I’m sure that bumped us down on JJs list. And the staff absolutely has to circle back now but I’m sure it’s not easy.

I’m not sure how much differently the staff could handle it, but this isn’t like “JG3 is leaving early so you can step on campus and start day 1”. In other words, a situation with a player on the current roster drastically changes; not we lose 2 commitments from your class. We were able to do it with Kadary when we lost out on AJax but we’ve been recruiting JJ for years. I bet he feels some type of way about the Lands thing

They never stopped recruiting him. Any talk contrary to that is incorrect. The always wanted him. They also always had their doubts about Lands. Long before he bolted, they were still recruiting guys at that position.
