We should be thrilled to get either. I’d give us a <20% of landing either. One thing I have to say is very positive for BU’s staff is their willingness to disregard geography entirely. We weren’t getting it done being overly reliant on Chicago, Downstate, St. Louis, so they expanded to look for players anywhere. If we start achieving great success with players we get from anywhere, we’ll be more appealing to the local studs. But recruiting is now national/global and location wasn’t nearly enough by itself. We couldn’t get KBD, let alone all the studs out of Chicago, and little reason to think we’re the favorite for Okoro or Liddell. It may be a little unintuitive, but given our local recruiting failings, we need to work backward, recruiting talent from anywhere/everywhere in order to be good enough to get the elite talent in our own backyard.
