The narrative is sticky at various programs, Michigan and Ohio State included.

Sorry to multi-post as I catch up this morning. IIRC, Kansas was Self's white whale that he actually landed. He grew up in the Big 8 when Kansas was the thing, wanted to play there and wasn't good enough (despite being HS POY in OK), and settled for OK State. His college career was contemporaneous with the Danny Manning KU squad that won the title in '88. It was unfortunate for us that UNC opened up in '03 and Roy bolted KU for it.

But on the flip side, those coaches can just deal with on court and player management. The player acquisition is the ultimate responsibility of other people (I know coaches will clearly have significant input).

There's 1 roster spot currently open as of right now. @PleaseMakeABowlGame referenced it yesterday in the Recruiting thread (above), but the only one that would probably make sense at this point would be Quinn Costello, considering he went to the same high school as Morillo. He would be an awesome piece to have for the future but I don't know where he would fit into our already loaded frontcourt, and I don't think that kid is coming to college to sit on the bench.
Otherwise I'm not sure there is anyone else that fits well schematically; small guards don't fit the current scheme (Cadeau, Cason, who would both be expecting a starting spot or near it) and IMO we have no use for another upperclassman big. I think the only reason you would bring in someone like Brandon McCoy is if there have been serious unexpected issues that have come to light after the first week of practice with the existing 2/3 guys we have.
Yeah a top 50 kid is not coming to be the back-up, back-up C/PFIllinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

I mean he’ll be exactly that at Michigan.
