I don’t know if I’d phrase it as being that dire. We clearly wanted two high school kids, and if they got two and Meleek wanted to come, they’d gladly take three. We got a kid that they love in Witherspoon, and it was clear that the class that they wanted and were expecting was Witherspoon and Dixon. They ended up going 1/2, and while it’s always a bummer to not get a guy that you thought you’d get and spent a bunch of energy recruiting, it’s not like they struck out - they got one instead of two.
If they don’t see someone over the winter who they can get as a late riser, I think you’ll probably see them chase after a multi-year transfer like Leggett was - and that might be more impactful on the court for the next few years than a high school kid might be.
