I think Oats will recruit better than we've seen in quite a while. But, it will start to happen AFTER he is winning a lot of games. The fun style of play, coupled with wins, will bring in good players.
Or, we could have a shite year this year, which discourages some of our top targets from coming, which causes us to have another couple of shitty years, and then at that point, nobody remembers Nate Oats or Bama and it never gets on track.
But, I'm betting on the first option, or at least something in between the two.

Yea, I mean, he seems to have the tools to recruit well (and recruited well at Buffalo relative to their size/structure). I have NO concerns about his recruiting moving forward.
However, it was inevitable that getting all excited about some guys seeing our staff's energy and track record and throwing us in a huge "first cut" list was going to turn into disappointment and doubt from some the minute those guys cut us for the typical 2-3 final teams (UCLA, UNC, Duke, Kentucky, etc).
Oats is gonna get guys here and more importantly he is gonna scheme and develop those guys in a way that we haven't done in a long, long time.

I agree with this. He has to prove himself down here. Some folks were getting carried away with the fact that we offered highly rated guys. He's supposed to offer them

This is where I’ve been since we hired him. I mean it’s great that he’s working hard on the recruiting trail, but that isn’t going to pay off as much in year 1. Once the wins come to go along with his player-friendly play style we’ll start to see some results.
