Understood you were not talking Stanford. Gigantic gap between us and Stanford. In fact we are closer to Houston and TT in comparison . Love how Ben has a plan built on high character and it is known which programs this staff loves.

And it is not that hard to get into the U. The acceptance rates and standards are much tougher at several schools that have won at a high rate. The larger issue is do prospects fit what Ben is looking for on and off the court. My grand kids have friends at the U now that got in with less than...

He is under valued. UVA has known the family for 3 years. Great people. They never scheduled a visit for Cam and have not followed him all spring. They are close on all the first line offers. However, no one knows if Taison or Cam will be the better player. UVA is not even top lining TC. This is...

great post.

Strong pick up. Great chance at early time here. Not very familiar with his game but know he was a 3rd choice at UVA at his position so they clearly thought highly of him. Great job Ben and staff. This is such a high character high value team guy.

Agree. Congrats EC on winning.

I see only the upside in this move.

That was my point about scouting. They were under ranked before the Bennett offers. Jerome is the example of how poor his offer list was. The rankings you give were all after the fact. 247 bumped them up way after the Bennett evals. That is the pre scouting and scouting they excel at. Then there...

No doubt that it got more difficult but i would not bet against him. There are certain recruits attracted to what he does, what he stands for and who he is. Think he will continue to have success. Great coaches build and then win. UW and even more so UVA did it and we can do that here.

Of course everyone wants to scout better, develop better and that is why hiring the right staff is the critical piece because only certain coaches possess these gifts. Time will tell if we have done that. ONLY CERTAINTY is we have not done it in the past.

Jerome was in the 200's when offered. Hunter high 90's, Guy around 50. Services on elevated that class after commits . He was way ahead on evals.To build it Harris was in the 135 range, Atkins etc 200's and Brogdon around 90. That group won ACC titles and again were evaluated and developed...

You know that it can be done the way UW did it. That is pretty damn impressive. Or even better, do it the way UVA did it in building a true national power. High character, detailed scouting, extraordinary work, defense, chemistry, championships. First is the foundation. That takes time.

seems to me that the SEC has more than a slight advantage in talent. Their teams at the top have won a ton, had more top draft picks and are stockpiling top recruits. Adding USC helps because Lincoln Riley is and will continue to add great talent.

They win a lot of NCAA titles in many sports we have. They are the model on excellence.

And Bossi carries a ton of credibility as a evaluator without peer as several great coaches actually talk to him on a trusted basis. He has a brilliant eye for talent, skill and fit.

Great post. That is all this is. Different takes on the same situation. Would take coaches side on every one of these. Hell, these are as old and as common as soon as anyone is old enough to play sports. I had several teammates in high school and college about our coaches and found out that in...

True. I can make a long list of reasons to play at Minnesota. The LSU list will win out more often. It is a totally different football experience.

There are a ton of reasons to go there.

Stanford dwarfs everyone when it comes to academics and athletics. Look at them compared to any school in the conference. Incredible.

Kofi is older. Kessler already has more floor game.
