Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 1095475, member: 297"] I get the strategy. I think this is a promising attempt to raise the level of recruiting over the long term. We've moved passed filling out classes with JUCOs. Now we're filling out classes with gambles on high schoolers - either trying to grab a highly rated guy at the end or hoping a B lister outplays their listing. That's a tough pattern to break out of. So, this year you maybe do what Shafer and co are going for, because you believe a jump start on 2016 pays off, and you figure, hey, we know in the end we'd accept some of these kids anyway, and we know we'll get some guys we really like early, so let's get it done. Then next year with the lead time you have you go a little bigger. Then a little bigger. And you hope you break the cycle. I mean who knows if it works but I like that there's a plan. [/QUOTE]
