Why do you assume we’re “failing to close” like we have some sort of inside track. Guys choose schools for a lot of reasons. We’re not such a big time power now that we should assume we automatically h any sort of edge. Again, with our starters basically set, limited nil money and a recent history of missing the NCAAs, what should set us apart so that we’re ever in position to close?
What does "closing" mean to you?
The moving-up-a-level guys have largely spurned us - the Harvard kid, a Philly kid, Leffew and a couple others at guard. What are they doing that is so over-achieving right now? A guy our board experts was saying was going to announce "at any moment" then took 2 more recruiting trips after we hired his coach, and we signed Carlos rather than just sit around waiting. So, that's ok, good save, from a roster perspective.
Who do you think was a good signing? We're talking about guys in the 100-200 range among those in the portal. If we aspire to be a Top 40 team again, don't we need to at least GET those guys, and not have several appear to slip away at the last minute?
I mean, that how it has looked to me, and to many others.
What are you seeing right now?
How is this roster looking to you?
Is this the final group of players, do you think?
How good do you think this group is right now?
