He is 1000% top priority, if we got him to sign and no one else this spring. That would still be a great spring recruiting out of mick
 
Love how people believe you walk up and pick a recruit off the shelf and he's yours. There is so much that goes into recruiting. A kid is not just picking an opportunity for a number of years, he's picking a home. This staff work extremely hard and I hate seeing them disparaged because kids make a life decision that doesn't go a fan's way.

Exactly, and can we please get past the idea that if a kid doesn't pick UC, the staff obviously didn't prioritize him enough? If 5 staffs make a kid their #1 priority and he picks one of them, 4 staffs will not land their top priority. That's how recruiting works. You lose more than you win. The undeniable fact is that this staff recruits tirelessly and does a very good job identifying talent.

This X1000. Unless you have factual information to back something up you shouldn't make such asinine comments. You really have no idea if that's the case or not.

To be fair, do you have factual information that he is their #1 priority? Definitely not defending bulldog, but everybody is making assumptions here.

Who are these people that believe that and are disparaging the coaching staff? I'm pretty sure everyone knows how difficult recruiting is. That said, there is a reason Mick makes millions a year.

I don't think that is an undeniable fact. IMO it's up for debate. Or at least maybe they are much better at identifying the talent than landing the talent.
 
This staff does a good job at identifying second and third tier talent, maybe better than any "high major" program. It is much easier to tell a kid like Cobb that he'll have to earn his spot in the rotation than a top 50 kid. That is why we'll never recruit well under Mick.

If you look at the kids the staff is in on early, I would say they identify talent quite well. I would also say they do a pretty good job of realizing when the ship has sailed on a top kid and moving on. Look, we all want the top players to want to come to UC but I'm not going to waste anyone's time rehashing that argument about why they don't. No one is going to convince anyone else at this point. The fact is, the staff identifies talent very well. We just need to land a couple difference makers. Easier said than done.
 
Every coach in America identifies talent. the players are out there for everybody. We all want this kids but fact of matter he wasn't even on our radar month ago. Before this kid became available Mick already said was looking to sign a surprise player. Who is that?

In your scientific opinion he's #1 option. I'm looking to sign best 2 remaining players there is. I'll let staff make decisions on who there going to be.

Yeah. I doubt Luke Kennard is too worried about Coach K benching him all year bc he can't play up to some standard in a zone defense. Easiest choice ever. Even for the top in-state guys.

Actually we were recruiting him before he even committed to Charlotte way back in November. I believe it was LD who was on him. Also he originally was a class of 16 guy but reclassified to 15, which is why a lot of teams may not have seen him. I give the staff a lot of credit for finding him, hopefully they can reel him in.

You don't think Luke Kennard would come in and immediately start at UC?

Both are blatantly false to anyone with a clue with what is going on in his recruitment. You are clearly not one of those people.

Bro you have to read EVERYTHING. I'm responding to guys calling him out #1priority. Mick said right after season that he had surprise signing or something to that nature. Mick been Recruiting hard all season this guy wasn't available so how all of sudden EVERYBODY know for fact he is our #1.
