Now that we're to a point where our staff is getting to recruit based on a normal evaluation cycle, which is like 3-5 years in basketball, I have a lot of faith that our hit rate on recruits is going to be really high. The first couple of classes were kinda hit or miss because it was more of a get bodies, BPA kind of situation. I mean even looking at some of the dudes we recruited hard and missed on you can tell they know what they're doing. Jarace Walker has been really good on a stacked Houston team and is a one and done. Brice Sensabaugh was a second tier recruit like Clowney and he's going to be a one and done too.

They know exactly what they want in terms of body type and skill and exactly what they want in terms of demeanor.

Look at all the kids we've signed in the full eval classes and their emotions. None of them get frazzled. Even JD, who quite frankly probably wouldn't have been recruited by us if he was from Ohio or Colorado but was because he was in state. He was a great kid who played hard and didn't get emotional.

It's just really awesome to such a staff and head coach who have a very specific system and approach that they are totally confident in. And even more awesome that the system/player type they want is frickin badass.

We're in the good times.
