@BShark meant to post this yesterday; the VT faithful are starting to feel less doom and gloomy about Mike Young’s hiring as he builds his staff. Most of their recruits (and players) appear to be staying committed now. Blackshear might even stay.
@chriz “Sending their kids wherever they think is best for them” is funny. Eighteen year old kids aren’t super great at simply doing what they are told because an adult thinks it’s best for them. But certainly parents play an important role in recruiting and they should share praise and blame for when things work out and when they don’t.
As humans with brains and consciences they are capable just like the rest of us of making mistakes and letting money talk more than it should.
Can’t say he was left a cupboard of recruits to try and retain. Tough spot to be in so close to the early period. What is KU looking to get this cycle? Can they sign 25?
NO I think 15 is what they were saying. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Ben has been unlucky going from one bad team to another and then back to the really bad one. He has been a great KU ambassador and has done a lot of good work off the court. Condolences to him and his family.
Apparently it’s decision day for the NCAA. The USC kid De’anthony Melton just got his execution last night. Similar to Preston…held out since November and just got word.
