Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2916700, member: 966"] We didn't recruit Bazeley. If Mike Gbinije isn't on the list, Bazely prolly shouldn't be included. Seemed like the intent of the OP was to represent HS kids we targeted, went after, sold, and closed, no? I don't know how much sanctions hurt us. Maybe we had a little bit of stink on us, but bigger stinks haven't seemed to hurt Kansas, Arizona, Louisville, etc. People suggest that scholarship reductions have hurt, but wouldn't they more affect the lower end of the recruiting class? Like, we would still be going after the top guys, and recruiting fewer of the 'filler?' The coaching indecision seems damaging. The constant harping by commentators about us having the slowest pace of play seemed damaging. Missing out on two 'sure things' in Quade and Thomas Bryant hurt. Maybe, if you're generous, you call those two 'outliers' and suggest that this last few years of suck aren't really indicative of anything. [/QUOTE]
