No one evaluated kJ McDaniel/Craig Sword as top P5 caliber players because they didn't show it in HS before signing. Just look at their offer sheet, no major offers and even a desperate Tony Barbee didn't offer. It wasn't an evaluation problem, they didn't show P5+ talent until they made it to college

That's like saying Georgia had poor evaluation on Bryce Brown who was All SEC + invited to NBA workout by the Hawks this past weekend. That's BS. Bryce Brown wasn't a great prospect, hell some AU fans didn't think he was a good player starting this season

The truth is AU struck out on Jacob Evans and we needed a SG bad enough to take a last minute recruiting pitch to a kid who had no P5 offers or even respectable midmajor offers

Btw guys, we won’t be getting Rivny. Our roster is set now

Edit: Roster may not be set, but Rivny won’t be a part of it

Well, If I'm not mistaking, Clemson and State are both Power 5 programs. Considering we never went into a season with a full roster during those years, there really was no reason not to offer them. Hell, don't just take my word for it. Even the Great Anthony Grant himself admitted that he made a mistake not offering McDaniels. It's not hindsight either. I hated not entering the season with full rosters then.
