With Gilstrap done & Brackins probably going pro:
Who do we have & who are we going after?
Clyburn and Wilkins are guys we may be looking at. Other than that I don't know. I think Mac was likely waiting to make sure they were leaving.
Also, if your still recruiting at this time of year for the next season, your REACHING.

My point is most of the real good talents are gone at this point.
Really? We didn't even know how many scholarships to offer for the early signing period. Use your brain.

GreatThe point is valid. While McDermott might be lucky enough to find a diamond in the rough like Mike Taylor or Wes Johnson, chances are most likely better he will stumble upon Marcus Brister or Clayton Vette. Spring signees are typically fall back guys, not guys you build a program around.
Circumstances with Gilstrap/Brackins certainly created the problem, but the point itself is still accurate.
That is also true. Problem is a lot of that is because of academic problems even at there Juco or character issues. Most of the JUCO's that play go on to D1 were good enough to do so out of HS as well. Remember there is a reason they are at JUCO's. There are risks when you sign these guys.That may be true... but I honestly can't remember an ISU team that didn't sign at least somebody in the spring signing period. Most teams who are in our position our recruiting hard in the spring. Usually it seems more Jucos are available than High schoolers at this point.

Not true. Look at John Wall and Xavier Henry. They didn't fully commit to anyone until last minute.
