Maybe many people were surprised but the people in the know on this board (and I exclude myself from that description) were pretty confident we would resign Jakarr.
What about the first time we recruited Jakarr? Some big boys were after him then? Moe Harkless was a Uconn verbal, we seemed to compete fine with those big boys? All of last years recruiting class, sans Greene, were recruited by "big boys". Sorry, i'm just missing the point here..
Lavin has already proven he can recruit with anyone in the country, let's not downplay it. You've been hanging out with your boy, "Shurina Cheese" again lately?
