Kinda follow you, but there's no sure thing he gets all 3, so I don't see why we still wouldn't be doing some "reaching out to new players". Especially looking at some bigtime ones who are just getting announced.

- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
This staff is consistent. They evaluate prospects that they have a connection with and once they gain some traction they go all in to close. It has worked well these past two years.
Watch his highlights - we don't have anyone like him. He is good at finishing in transition, good in pick n roll, can get to the rim and hit mid range shots. He can score.
We are not going to waste time going after guys that we likely have zero shot with. There’s no point in wasting the time and resources when you can put them into realistic prospects.
We have, everything just isn't publicized. New one 2 days ago was Latrell Wrightsell Jr
This was very frustrating to watch under Prohm
Incredibly. And sure it was fun to see our name on top name player’s lists but we came up empty handed on almost all of them except for Shayok.
Gilbert could grow into a good three level scorer at the high major level. Needs to do it more consistently but the potential is there.

Someone posted that the Marquette pick was almost immediate when he entered the portal, so that could just be the initial guess based on location.
Dickinson's from DC area and Willard had a good 1st year at MD. Dickinson's game has seemed to stagnate at Michigan.
If TT can make Final 4 with the right coach, I would think MD can as well.
19 points against SDSU with zero 3 pointers made is really impressive. If he commits might have to watch highlights from that game.
for the most part, but we lost out when we didnt get Green and as CW stated we couldn't afford Basile or lost out on VanDerplos, etc. wouldn't have hurt to have a few more guys to reach out to...but I get what you're saying
Did we lose out or did they miss out?
Basile although a decent season personally, his team didn't make the ncaa tournament.
Vanderplas ended up being a bench player avg only 7.5 pts a game.
I feel we had a far more successful season with the guys we got in the portal even if we overachieved
Seems like we are mostly contacting players we have recruited in the past or guys we have a regional connection with. Lots of Wisconsin natives and guys we have existing ties with.
Love to me seems a bit overrated. He's good but not as good as his hype or probably his price tag.
