2018 General Recruiting

[IDC]

By “fluke” what the hell kind of fluke? Holy poop too many in denial.

You know, when you have a 99.9% chance to win the game with 11 mins left and you lose. That kind.

Exercise and sunlight (vitamin d) have the same, if not more, clinical benefit to depression than prozac. Just sayin.

That wasn’t a fluke. They earned that loss.

This doesnt mean that Mick cannot recruit him. Take Tavion Thomas from the FB team, he most likely wasn't coming to UC but they recruited anyway and then when he wanted to transfer was familiar with UC and ended up there. Doesnt hurt at all to at least show some effort, interest and/or offer.

Pat I think a lot of it comes down to using your time and resources on players you have a legitimate chance of landing. If the staff determined he was a need and they had a legitimate shot at landing him they probably would have put in the time. Only so many offers and so much time.

you dont know a phone call wasn't made.


my point is just from a lot of stuff i've heard guys stick with the brand they've been playing for. im sure not everybody does, but its a big time factor that maybe wasn't there 30 years ago. if uc put a call out and they said they were going to go to a nike school, it wouldn't make sense to waste time there.

Also some kids just want to play away from home.


I mean he has OSU and X and still chose to move to Texas.

osu makes sense. great coach, good tradition, huge school.



xavier makes no sense for anybody.

Get out of here. No one that cares about their kids let’s them go to either of those schools

Yep, the apparel brand makes a huge deal as that is who pays the bills during college.

I am aware I dont know what happens behind the scenes or if he wanted to play away from home. I get that. I am just saying that Kyle came to UC b/c of his prior relationship with Mick when he wanted to transfer. With all of the transferring now in CBB it doesnt hurt to extend an offer and let him know that he can succeed at UC. You never know, a family member could get sick, coach leaves, loses PT, gets recruited over etc.. and he could want to come closer to home.

Pat it really isn't as simple as just extending offers. Extending a offer to one player may impact your opportunity with another. Mick has worked as a recruiter under two very successful Coaches. I would say he understands the in's and out's very well.

I was wrong on this kid. I can't believe he wasn't offered by UCLA or Gonzaga or more major programs. He is going to be a big time player at UC. He's on the court so soon b/c of his defense, but just wait until he develops a perimeter game. I like how he can get to the rim with either hand too. Future looks good at PG.
