Recruit the players you can realistically get. Not the ones on your wish list. Lol. Get your head out of the clouds.

Ouch! Another big, another 0. Is it because these top-rated bigs want as much playing time as possible because they think they are 1&D, we have OY7 cooking for next year and the hs prospects do not want to share pt? We need one for the dominoes to fall...

We shouldn't be trying to recruit in the top 50 players that have Kentucky and Duke, Louisville, UNC and ku on their list. We will lose everyone. Get the guys you can realistically get.

7 men who passed up on being tutored by the man for whom the draft lottery was invented. Morons all in my book....

I like St. John's to win this recruitment especially if they can get Scottie Lewis..

We were on some of these guys before Duke, UNC, PayCal, etc. I don't have a problem for aiming high, maybe even too high, on a few guys as long as you also pursue the next levels, which we appear to be doing. Again, I don't think you can be overly critical of recruiting strategy until you see what class we actually end up with; we may still end up with the guys we had more realistic chances with all along.

We need one for the dominoes to fall... I do think so, but with Aidan we will see based off of his college choice. UK and L'Ville will both have high 4* and/or 5* bigs that he will have to share time with. I think it is more about exposure and the perception of being a winning program.............

Win some games and they'll come. It's insane to say stop recruiting top 100 players or elite 5star players. Rome wasn't built in one day. Hoyas will catch a break soon. I'm not concerned and this is why Coach gets the big bucks. Once we show that we've turned the corner , recruits will come. The staff has done an excellent job so far.

If you need to win to attract these recruits, why is St. John's on his list?

I would wouldn't say the top 100. I would say the top 50 tho. The 5 star players are for the blue bloods, usually. Not gtown. Rarely do they choose schools that have losing records or don't make it to the tournament. The staff energy and efforts of recruiting should have have been put towards Lewis, Wahab, Jones, Wilson, Pickney...

Smh...Another kid listing Kentucky in his Final list without an offer....Ahhhhh!
Louisville is absolutely going to get hit with at minimum post season sanctions sooner then later especially with the new punishment rules.
Tough week from the fanbase perspective. Makes me wonder if Coach Ewing knows something. Hard to believe he would strike out on every high level BIG!Maybe he's to honest. Igiehon, Tshweibe and some of the other BIGs truthly are not O&D. Maybe he is telling them give me a couple years and I'll get you ready while these other coaches are saying give me 8 months and I'll get you to the NBA even though they won't be ready for the NBA...

The 2019-2020 season starts in roughly 14 months. Let’s see what our roster looks like before we hyperventilate over the decisions of 17-18 year old men.

Just thinking out loud... Still way to early to be worried about the 2019 recruiting class!
