re: UA Basketball Recruiting

Excited to hear about Kira and Herb. Where's Sideshow Bob aka Petty? For us to break out, Petty has to buy in and perform up to his billing. That worries me.

How big was the 2020 class going to be anyway? I thought I read somewhere on here we only have room for 2-3 guys. Well, if we're in the running with a lot of 4 and 5 star guys, we only have to hit on a couple to make this class a success. I like our chances of doing that. Also, I still think we need to take a wait and see approach to recruiting. It's hard to recruit to the shitshow Avery put on for the last few years. Kids want to see Nate do his work at Bama. When that happens, we'll be more than just a hat on the table. Right now, Nate is selling a dream, a story, a what-if. Let him win some games, beat Kentucky, and suddenly, it's not a dream anymore, it's a reality and kids will buy in.

It's hard for us because we've been waiting for a decade now to get out of this rut. I get it, I'm with you. So the first sign of life, we jump on it and ride it for all it's worth. We get all excited about being in the final group for a bunch of top players. That's a good sign. When they go with the proven commodities over Bama, we get all pissed off, dejected, and feel jilted. Have patience. This should be the final year of "wait and see", then shite gets real. It doesn't help that Pearl and Auburn have the dream season and get within one controversial call of playing for a title. But we'll get there. Nate is the MAN! Besides, how many more kids can look at that stormtrooper Hodgson and tell him no?
