What effect does it have on DJ Steward transferring to Whitney Young?

It does have to do with recruiting. There has been a lot of discussion and debate on recruiting strategies . Y.
I don't know. So, other than not going after certain recruits that we potentially cannot get, who are the players you think we should be targeting?

I do not think anyone was expecting Antigua to be pulling recruits like he did at Kentucky but I was definitely expecting (and still expecting) more success on the recruiting front. Antigua has a great reputation, HS/AAU coaches speak highly of him, but the HC is also a huge factor independent of the work an assistant puts in. In general, from my own interactions with coaches, Orlando indeed has a very strong network and coaches know/respect him. Chin is mostly known within clusters in Illinois/EYBL. Walker may have Illinois/Missouri area connections but he has less visibility of the national scene.
IF we don't land any St. Louis kids(Liddell) they need to move on from Walker.

If EJ makes it thru this weekend without committing and we get our visit I like our chances. That then connects us to another big recruit too who has said if EJ comes so am I. Fingers and everything else crossable to be crossed!

Can you give us the said recruits initials? :rock::rock:

Good deal, thanks for the DL.

National Weather Service says heavy rain and breezy all weekend in Columbus. Rain on their parade!

Columbus or Columbia? I thought he was visiting Miznoz this weekend.

Wait a second, I see a similarity with his 2 top schools!

One thing I love about Underwood is that any time a random recruit pops up on our radar, it seems like my first reaction to their video is always "damn, this kid has swag"

That's because these videos tend to be highlights tapes. :)

Notice he didn't say basketball recruit ...
I believe EJ's buddy is Keith Randolph. We do have competition for Randolph's position visiting this weekend on the football side. Dominic Moore (SDE) returning for at least a second UV and Stephon Wright (SDE) for an OV. Not sure if good, bad, or just plain curious.
