I'm not sure what all of this concern is about.

We haven't signed anyone for next year.  True.  We just had one player who we were targeting announce he's going elsewhere.   True.    I was very bummed we didn't wind up landing Randolph.  He would've been perfect for our system.  All of that could be a little annoying.

But...

it's mid-October.  We will soon have one of the top point guards in his class announce he's going to SU.   Yes, that will happen.  He will be a huge draw for other players.  A lot of these top players want to know who will be getting them the ball.  I think once they know Quade Green is Orange, you will see others sign with us.  Based on Quade's visit schedule, he could announce by around Halloween or early November, allowing one or two other guys to sign during the early period.  I wish he'd announce sooner than later.  It's not helping us that he's slow to pull the trigger.

I'm not sure what the negative recruiting could be about.  We just got two guys drafted, who will be on opening day rosters.  The sanctions have not weakened us significantly.  Last time I checked, we just had a Final Four run.  And it's starting to look like JB will be around beyond next season.

We are also in good shape with a number of our other targets.  This has been laid out throughout threads on the recruiting board.

If we don't land Quade Green, it would be a huge out of left field shock and it would absolutely be a huge gut shot.  If that happens, I will join the nervous brigade.  Until then, we are fine.
