We only have one recruit coming in next year I was wondering what has happened to our recruiting. I looked at the list of players that Louisville was recruiting and there was a lack of interest in Louisville from possible recruits.
I know that we have 9 freshmen but to only have one recruit is a concern since we do have some needs. Have we lost our main recruiters or is the lack of NIL money the problem. We need to try and get a player like Laura Ziegler from St. John’s to transfer in She is a 6’1” power forward with good size if not her someone like her.

I think Jeff is working the international market and that generally happens in the late spring and summer; we need help!
 
Since Sam Purcell left for Ms St I don’t think we have been as good. The male coach and the female from Ga Tech - to me - are just average. Of course, that is just my opinion looking in from the outside.

Sam has had three top 25 recruiting classes but just can’t do a lot with them. CJW and Sam were probably a perfect match one is a great coach and the other one is a great recruiter.

Need to recruit bugs that have hops, and quickness. Would be nice to get an over six foot wing with speed and hops.
 
Jeff is so competitive, that I expect that he is working tirelessly on finding at least one or two of the best transfers possible.

Not just after witnessing them win the ACC tournament, I believe that Duke has the sort of athleticism on their roster that Jeff would like to have. Despite playing one extra game, they not only beat both ND and NCST, they did it with a level of energy that should have belonged to their opponents.

I may be incorrect, but watching ND lose 3 of their last 5 games since being rated #1, just from the “body language and facial expressions”, I sensed that Miles and Hidalgo have caused some chemistry issues on the court with the upperclassman.
 
Duke has one of the best guards in the country coming in next year so with that and what they have coming back they should be the top team next year. When I looked up our recruiting targets for next year they had a list of 10 players and none of them had any interest. Something has changed either the way we recruit or we aren’t getting enough NIL money.
