So are we going to get that recruiting bump in MBB?
This has been talked about here and there in other threads, but thought I would make one dedicated post to this topic.
We all remember what happened last time we made it to the NCAA tournament finals. From the increased exposure and success, we thought we'd start getting higher profile recruits. Bubcus! Excuses were abound, including:
1. JB's archaic approach to recruiting
2. Recruiting is a dirty game of which we do not play
3. It takes time to garner the right relationships with the right recruits, so don't expect a recruiting bump right away.
So, are things different now? We've had a very successful 6 years and have sent many kids to the NBA. Are kids going to notice now? Will the FBI investigation help the clean recruiters like JB?
What say you MGoBoard?
I know you're an ignoring these stupid Beilein-hating threads just to watch the neg ratios but what am I?
I thought next year's class was ranked like 15th
Levert wasn't close to the top 100
Levert was going to Ohio until Illinois poached Groce and he said 'nah, you're not good enough for Illinois.' Burke was going to PSU as OSU said nah we'd rather have shannon scott? I'm having trouble remembering the name. I don't remember anyone else going after Stauskas, hardaway, or wagner.
Mo Wagner wanted to come to Michigan because of the way Mitch McGary dominated that NCAA Tourney too.
Look at our abomination of a football season. If you want a bball example look at Ohio State. You can get 5 star guys and still be unsuccessful.
This is also a bad year to question blines recruiting. He has a couple of T-50 guys coming in.
But it's such a hot topic that it definitely needed to be asked twice within 2 weeks.
Once the FBi brings down the Indictments, we'll be sittin' pretty!
