Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1186897, member: 569"] I actually like that we are going up against the top teams for some of these guys in 16, 17 and beyond. It tells me that we are back to targeting top 20 players regularly. The only reason to do that is because the staff feels we can land some of these kids. I think we will still see the staff get kids that may be underrated nationally that we really want but other than that almost all of the kids we have been targeting are very highly rated. UK can't get all the good players and I'm glad we are throwing our hat in the ring as well. It looks as though we are becoming the North East selector school for basketball. We are going to be able to get the kids from this area that we really want and only a handful of teams can compete or take them from us in this area. We are also expanding by going after very highly ranked kids selectively outside of our main area of recruiting power. We will have to beat out teams like UK, UNC, Duke, Lville, Florida, MSU, OSU, Mich ect to nab these kids out of these other powerhouses areas. We managed to get Moyer right when he was exploding and before Mich, OSU, MichSt could get serious on him because they have all been focusing on a few players in that area that were more sought after. It was a great job by the SU staff of identifying, offering and getting him to SU for a visit and commit before these other hometown schools could real him back in. Still I can't wait to see us beat Duke or UNC in a long recruiting battle for a big time prospect from the Carolina's. Or out dual UK and Florida for a well know South East stud. That is the next step IMO. Edit: LOL I went and added a few sentences to the original and received a couple likes while doing so. Hope you guys still like it with the added content. [/QUOTE]
