[ most plaintive plea, like the kid in Shane (hey, I'm old) ] Come back, 0440, come back.

Last one, I promise, maybe?

AJ needs to pick up his game. Hearing some top programs are going into wait and watch mode because of sporadic effort and involvement. Then you have the helicopter dad and jumping around schools issues. Great talent but some yellow flags.
I think there are other targets I would rather take at this point. To me biggest red flag a top kid can have is effort or disappearing in stretches. That sort of thing is hard to coach and correct at the college level and it almost always seems like those kids don’t live up to their potential. See Williams, DJ.

Sturdy said he’s playing better lately.

If Whitmore alone gets Chester a Statue in your backyard, what would you do if we rounded out our '22 recruiting class with Whitmore + Corhen and then added JJ Taylor and Marvel Allen in the class of '23?

Our potential depth chart in 2022-23 could be:
PGSGSFPFC
Andre Curbelo 6'1"Brandin Podziemski 6'5"Cam Whitmore 6'6"Coleman Hawkins 6'10"Omar Payne 6'10"
Jayden Epps 6'2"Sencire Harris 6'3"RJ Melendez 6'7"Ben Bosmans-Verdonk 6'8"Brandon Lieb 7'0"
Reggie Bass 6'4"Luke Goode 6'7"Cameron Corhen 6'9"

And our depth chart in 2023-24 could be:
PGSGSFPFC
Andre Curbelo 6'1"Brandin Podziemski 6'5"Cam Whitmore 6'6"JJ Taylor 6'8"Coleman Hawkins 6'10"
Marvel Allen 6'4"Sencire Harris 6'3"RJ Melendez 6'7"Ben Bosmans-Verdonk 6'8"Brandon Lieb 7'0"
Jayden Epps 6'2"Reggie Bass 6'4"Luke Goode 6'7"Cameron Corhen 6'9"
