Does that really make any sense? Isn't Larkin a freshman? Neither of those guys would have ever been on the team with him.

It does actually. Larkin committed to depaul in the same class as Anderson et al. Then he did that shady switch to the u. Jackson had likely not definitively made his pro decision.

Ok Larkin is a Soph. If both of those guys actually stuck around they would have had one year with him.

Yep. The whole thing sounds like nonsense.

HJS {l Wrote}:There are always reasons why we would recruit one guy, drop interest, never offer, get beat by another program, etc. It is only still being discussed here because Don has failed to win... thus allowing us to re-visit dead recruiting events of years ago and argue over the rumored reason for the miss.

As I've said a million times, I like Don and had hopes that he would turn this around. However, I think that the writing on the wall is pretty damn clear. It is NCAA Tourney in 2014 or be fired. I think there were a number of missteps that got us to this point. I have long maintained that replacing Jones with Woody Kampmann was the death blow. Nonetheless, I think we are looking at a recruiting class next year similarly hampered as Spaz's final class. Which means the next coach will find himself in a similar position as Daziani.

Reynolds is the only guys we're still recruiting who seems even semi-capable of playing C. I would be ok with finishing the class with Reynolds and Hicks.

That would be a solid ending

Iggle {l Wrote}:some combination of Reynolds/Hamilton and Severe/Hicks would make me feel okay.

Does anyone really know anything about Kanter? He was originally slated for 2014, then got a BC and Pitt offer, reclassified, and then nothing else? Just seems strange to me. Maybe this is more common than I know of.

Donahue's optimism is undiminished. Bryant Crawford (6'2", 170 lbs.) is one of the top PG prospects in 2015 - offers from UConn, Georgetown, Indiana, Penn State, Rutgers, Seton Hall, South Florida, SMU, and Texas, with a number of other high majors considering whether to jump in. BC's recruiting will have to improve 300% to hold out any hope of getting this kid.

So you are saying there's a chance?

BCEaglesFan {l Wrote}:I'm shocked you guys don't realize that Donahue offers some guys for the heck of it. Also he probably thinks that if the kid's recruiting regresses (like Hicks') then he can recruit him hard then.

wait nevermind, he's 2014 maybe and thus is much less likely to commit soon.
