I'm just nervous that we're entering the game too late. The staff went into this year thinking they might need 2 or 3 recruits for next season. Now, there's a very real possibility they may need 4 or 5 recruits. And while we can all cross our fingers and hope for the return of Sampson, Pelle, and Gathers, I am skeptical of putting my trust in a player who has already decommitted from us. I really hope I'm wrong on that point, but there aren't that many recruits who decommit and then recommit a few months later.
Based on his proven track record in the recruiting circles, it'd be foolish to doubt Lavin. That being said, I think it is is going to be extraordinarily difficult to fix the roster for next year.
