I don't know anything more than I read, but I've got to think we at least land one of Jordan or Lawrence.
Granted it looks like we'll only have one or two scholarships open after the season. But if the staff was concerned we weren't in good position with these two wouldn't they at least be looking at other recruits for '13?
It's early, I know, but since Martin and Wainwright signed; the staff hasn't been on any '13 players other than Jordan and Lawrence.
That has to be a good sign, right?
Not to be gloomy about our chances.. But I don't think it's a good sign that we haven't targeted other 13 kids. If we strike out then what? You can't use the limited scholarship excuse for not targeting others because nobody has a clue what the roster will look like next season. Most schools target multiple players per class and we just don't. We have heard before in the past that Coach targets only kids he feels good about.. So what happens if they don't commit? Kinda too late for the 2013 backup plan. That being said I still think we will get one.
Well, we're scheduled to have 1) Jr. D'lo, 2) So. Jakarr, 3) So. Obekpa, 4) Jr. Sir Dom, 5) Jr. Amir, 6) Jr. Phil, 7) Jr. Jamal, 8 ) Sr. Marco, 9) So. Christian), 10) So. Felix, 11) Sr. Gift, and 12) So - or is he a Fr? Hooper for 2014. And possibly 13) Sr. Sanchez (Who knows with the NCAA - IF they rule him eligible, it still COULD be for 2 years. The one indisputable fact about him is he's played only 2 years of college ball).
We'll "find" a ride if we get one or more of the targets to commit, but technically, ALL of our rides are already committed for 2014....
All said and done tho, I wish ONE of the kids we were hoping for was something we don't already have (position wise, not skill wise - you ALWAYS take a talented player, no matter the position!) - like a 7' 250 lb guy.
