2017 General Recruiting

[WAITE HOYT 2]

I was speaking to the hypothetical "If we would have landed McNeil..." I don't disagree with you and that is exactly what I was saying. If we landed McNeil, Williams may not have remained the top target. Doesn't mean they would have stopped recruiting him. If we land Williams now, a guard probably isn't top priority any longer.

I gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

And Western Kentucky locks down a 4 star wing player, Josh Anderson. What are they doing right down there?

From Jeff Goodman's twitter:
Multiple coaches telling me recently that they are bowing out of recruitments when Rick Stansbury gets involved.

Yeah, that smells fishy.

Why would that work? That's really creepy.

Haha agreed.

Something is going on though.

I just have this vision in my head in which he is peeking through the windows as an in home visit with another coach is going on. So stupid and, yes, really creepy.

why would you give up if you didn't like the guys tactics. I would work even harder. Unless there's money under the table and you know you can't compete against him. But I would still work even harder likely.

Saw Coach Davis at CVG this morning. Tried to get some info out of him about Epperson and Williams. Got nothing good lol but he said they are working hard on it. LD is such a nice guy.

UC alum08, are you in sales? LOL. You're always at the airport. Giving us good updates LOL

I'm pretty sure shananigans are being implied here.

Xavier gets a very big boy. Me just being judgmental, but he looks like a huge douche. Typical X guy.

Haha thought the same exact thing. Started laughing when he said we want to have a top 5 class. He's unranked on every site doesn't even have an espn page I think and averaged 6 points and 4 boards over the summer, whatever their class rank will be it will have nothing to do with this guy

Watching the video of him on that page I linked is hilarious. Not impressed. Wonder if he will get a Chris Mack haircut.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

We're the last team that should be making fun of others for landing guys without recruiting profiles.

Haha no sales for me man, I would be terrible at it. I work for dept. Homeland Security and have a position at CVG. Unfortunately I don't hold a position that I could keep guys like Mack from flying I deal with cargo and not passengers.

Hopefully Williams can be the recruiting class headliner a lot of people think he can be. If so, this will be an acceptable class...especially considering we still have a scholarship to play with. We can be selective. Feels good to be at 12 scholarship players already for 2017-18. That's a very good place to be at this stage. And all the guys are 4 year players too. Good stuff. Good day for the basketball program. The coaches have put in some serious work on this class in a short amount of time.

 

[UCalum08]

Now that Williams is a Bearcat, it's time to go alll out for Epperson. We have to get him on campus this bball season for a game/visit.

 

[Cincy0414]

Anyone else not named Jacob Epperson we could go hard after? He seems like a stretch, with that being said they should still pursue him for sure. Maybe pocket the final scholly?
