My interest in specific recruiting has never been lower. As long as we have a decent coach, I think we'll be fine. The blueprint is simple nowadays:
- Go after MS high schools kids first and foremost, and supplement with kids in surrounding states who are overlooked;
- Use JUCOs;
- Get portal kids from P5 blue bloods looking for PT, and maybe a few from G5.
A couple of things have been diminished, namely going and getting the overlooked out-of-state guys, because they want to transfer right back once they develop. So we have to be careful there, but obviously have to just take some chances and hope.
We can still use JUCOs for depth, and should, they are local and easy access for us.
In the portal, it seems like there are more Jamire Calvin's, Makai Polk's, Marcus Banks', Jalen Green's, Justin Robinson's, G Spivey's, Rylan Goede's and Jackie Matthews' available (P5 guys looking to play or get home, etc.) than there are Randy Charlton's and Steven Losoya's (G5 guys coming up).
