I feel to much stock is placed in the ranking of the recruiting sites for stars. Yes it would be nice to get a five star but the reality is that these kids want to go to a select set of schools no matter how deep the roster and then transfer. It is like someone said to me once “you are dealing with 17 year old kids” logic does not always dictate.
Another thing that may hinder our recruiting, but it is a positive, is I feel the staff is very honest with the recruits. They are not just telling them what they want to hear. They are telling them the truth. I believe one of our 2020 commits commented that when he visited the current players confirmed statements of the coaches which confirmed they were being honest. I feel this is the better approach. It is why I feel we have so few players enter the portal versus other schools.
Also, I like the current comments a lot. Smart, great size and committed to play at su. I feel our staff is very good at evaluating talent. It seems once we offer a number of other programs jump in and offer. Now it would be great if the player appreciated that SU coaches saw their ability and potential and respected that and realized the commitment to them. However that is logic and as I said before “you are dealing with 17 year old kids”.
