No offense to some of the other posters, but this can’t be the Groce era all over again because we landed Ayo and Kofi!
And we HAVEN’T hit our ceiling yet!! It just makes this year all that more important...
How many times have we landed a recruit from Mokan in the past?
He was the headliner for this class no doubt, and we want to keep stacking those each year, so yes this one hurts, bad. But if it’s worth any merits, we were much much closer to landing Hopkins than we were Nesbitt. 0440 and whitesoxfan are right tho, we had 1 MORE BARRIER to overcome... and ultimately the AAU pull won out! We will be back tho and we will win our fair share!
Again, it just makes the success of this season that much more critical. You cannot tap into these type of programs and pipelines, without winning first. The Top Dawg is always going to win out when comes to these type of Elite programs who are connected to this Elite players.
However, if we land Mac and Cardet... we will be fine. This recruiting season is not over and there is plenty of time for a top player or two to appear back on the market and make their way to SFC.
We took it on the Chin this weekend, but I know we will be right back in the fight next year winning our fair share of top level talent after a memorable trip to the Final Four.
Btw, I knew it was all bad as soon as they moved the announcement from Saturday to Monday, last minute! Made me feel like I shoulda kept my information to myself!
But just like how I know this staff is feeling right now... I will be better in the future. You guys deserve better! These last two recruitments have been gut-wrenching
