The problem is, you're panicking about something that it's way too early to panic about. We have one of the best coaches in the country that is great at recruiting. There are players as good as Cam Spencer in the portal every year. If it comes to having to utilize the portal, we will be fine. The thing is though, it's so early that we don't know if we're going to need to do that.
Castle, Donovan, Spencer, Newtown, and Diarra will definitely be gone after this upcoming season. That's all we know for sure. Assuming everyone else stays we most likely have our starting lineup from that group. That's without adding a single person. I would assume we're going to bring in additional pieces, and I feel very confident in this coaching staff doing that.
I’m not panicking over recruiting. I never insinuated that.
All I did was express frustration on the timing of Flagg’s visit (in general, not at the coaches because I have no idea how the conversations around when he would come went) for us to be able to give him our best shot to wow him. The current visit did not seem like a case where we’d be able to pull out all the stops for him.
Am I worried about overall recruiting? Absolutely not. I’ve said plenty of times this is one of the best recruiting staffs in the country, which adds to my frustration on the timing of his visit because it doesn’t seem like they’ll get a fair shot. (If I failed to make this part clear my apologies)
Even if we miss out on our top targets, this staff has a great eye for talent to try and scoop up some sleepers later.
To steer this thread somewhat back on track it’s disappointing how PN’s recruitment is going but Hurley development of bigs has probably been his best work since he’s been here (Whaley, Carlton, Akok (before injury), Sanogo, Clingan, etc.). So I’m not worried there either. Singare’s a freshman with good tools to work with long term.
