No, we are not. We took a 3 star C and helped mold him into a 1st team All B1G, a Second Team All American in two years. The more we put people in the pros, the better we will be in the future.
Kofi? 3 Star? He was top 50 and a 4 star. But, yes, good to get players into the pros.
The post I responded to said we are screwed if Kofi leaves. We took Kofi as a 3 star C in two years and made him a pro prospect. We put kids in the pros, kids will come here to play.
Maybe I was mistaken but I thought he was a top 100 3 star? I retract if he was a 4 star.

Kofi was a top 50, bonafide 4 star prospect. Obviously he's exceeded our wildest dreams, but calling him a 3 star out of HS is selling him a bit short.
I was not insinuating anything negative toward Kofi. I thought we found him as a 3 star. My mistake.

No worries, it's easy to get all the recruiting rankings mixed up with how many HS players there are, on top of all the different recruiting ranking sites with their own evaluations.

Always appreciate your insight. Looks like a bit of a sleeper, at least WRT the recruiting sites.
Wouldn't be surprised if it were before the end of March Madness.

Nice. They'd be taking him over Schutt. Staff must be sky high on Bass.
Not gonna lie, I love that he's an Indiana kid.

You say dupe or dope?QC back from the dead with more sweet inside dope.
Not casting shade- I'll happily read insider info, speculation, and hot takes, all the same.
You really think we can reel him in?

Perhaps this season can help us tip the scales in our favor?
I heard Underwood has baited the hook quite well

He took our recruiting message hook, line, and sinker.
Haha I've said it before but his posts are the boys version of the bachelor. Trash and fun. His record is miraculously inaccurate. Like I'm in absolute awe.
But I do concede he is an insider! How do you get a 0/100 on a multiple choice test? By knowing all of the answers
He looks like a pg to me and he says he wants to play pg.
From his videos, he looks pretty close to Curbelo quick. He flies when he makes a move. Needs to tighten up the handle though.

Everyone wants to be a PG, lol.
The main recruiting services say he's a SG, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're wrong. Love that he's pushing 6' 5"
Well I think the highlight vids I saw might have been from last year, but he brings the ball up and the highlights are almost all 3s or passes.
Looks like he was very highly rated in jr high and has slid. Legit high major offers though.
