I keep hearing this but if he’s truly the best in the country then we really suck as a destination and it’s time we as a fan base accept that. We have improved our recruiting and made respectable showings in overall class ranking. But come on.Can't argue that. He may be the best recruiter in the country. I really hope we don't lose him. Too much momentum going with Storr and Bass blowing up. They do seem 1 step ahead of the pack on the studs outside of the obvious players(top 10).
This logic baffles me...I keep hearing this but if he’s truly the best in the country then we really suck as a destination and it’s time we as a fan base accept that. We have improved our recruiting and made respectable showings in overall class ranking. But come on.
In the 4 years Underwood's staff has been here, we've landed 4 top 50 guys. That's pretty good. I don't know what about that says we "suck as a destination".I keep hearing this but if he’s truly the best in the country then we really suck as a destination and it’s time we as a fan base accept that.

And if that is the “best in the country” then I don’t know what to tell you.In the 4 years Underwood's staff has been here, we've landed 4 top 50 guys. That's pretty good. I don't know what about that says we "suck as a destination".
If you're expecting top 10 guys every year from a program that was just irrelevant, I don't know what to tell you.
Last season's team had:And if that is the “best in the country” then I don’t know what to tell you.
Actually, either way, I don’t. Carry on.
Judging from his minimal post history, I'd guess a Kentucky fan with no insider knowledge.Care to enlighten us as to how you're so in the know on this?
That was my first thought, as wellJudging from his minimal post history, I'd guess a Kentucky fan with no insider knowledge.
Are you having a stroke?
Nope, but are you gonna wait till 1700 on prom night for her to make a choice on her prom date?You wanna date the hot, smart girl with an awesome personality? Or settle for the girl who no one wants but you know couldn't do better than you?
C'mon man.
UK insiders/radio guys were saying it was a done deal a week ago and an announcement was imminent. Logic would also tells us the longer it goes on, the better it looks for us.
If you are interpreting my post as in any way shape or form saying they don’t do a great job and I’m not very happy with their recruiting, then your reading comprehension skills are worse than my SAT score on that skill a million years ago. That is categorically not what I said. I said if this is truly the “best recruiter in the country” and we get this level of recruiting class - which is absolutely great by IL standards - then it’s time the fan base accepts that we must not be a great destination for recruits.Last season's team had:
the best point guard in the country + 1st team All-American + All B1G 1st team,
along with a 2nd team All-American + All B1G 1st team + 2020 B1G FOY,
along with the 2021 B1G 6MOY (as a freshman)
.....not to mention the other top 50 freshman (yes,I know he's transferring but still)
Obviously we are not KU, UK, or Duke reeling in classes of multiple 5* year in and year out, but if the above isn't elite recruiting....it's at least an extremely high level and better than 80% of the rest of CBB. And Antigua has been a major, major part of that.
I said if this is truly the “best recruiter in the country” and we get this level of recruiting class - which is absolutely great by IL standards - then it’s time the fan base accepts that we must not be a great destination for recruits.
Let me be more direct so no one is misunderstanding again: I believe that if even “the best recruiter in the country” can only get us 4 top 50 recruits in 4 years, we’re a pretty middle of the road destination and it’s time we accept that.
Nope, but are you gonna wait till 1700 on prom night for her to make a choice on her prom date?
You win. Reading skills notwithstanding."The best recruiter in the country" helps us get two All-Americans and two of the best players we've had in 16 years and you're reaction is that "we are not a great destination for recruits"......?
Don't believe it isIs the upcoming season starting next week or something?
Get your point...but I'm not willing to accept middle of road...If you are interpreting my post as in any way shape or form saying they don’t do a great job and I’m not very happy with their recruiting, then your reading comprehension skills are worse than my SAT score on that skill a million years ago.

You are right if you base the recruiting based on the ratings only. Personally I base them on the results I.e. wins/losses.If you are interpreting my post as in any way shape or form saying they don’t do a great job and I’m not very happy with their recruiting, then your reading comprehension skills are worse than my SAT score on that skill a million years ago.

I follow what you're saying, but I think the difference is that some believe our recruiting is improving and may continue to improve moving forward. OA and CC are part of a supercar engine that has yet to reach its top speed.If you are interpreting my post as in any way shape or form saying they don’t do a great job and I’m not very happy with their recruiting, then your reading comprehension skills are worse than my SAT score on that skill a million years ago.
