Hey guys a new PG Cater Whitt #52 2021 class per Dokich

Capel has brought in quality players and I am excited for this season. A winning season will go a long way towards getting the recruits every one wants. If Davis really wanted to play for a winner, it would close the gap if we were a bubble team than 3-15. We will get there. I honestly think a win against FSU in the opener would go a long way to finishing out this class and maybe snagging a November signee.
 
i just hope they don't reach for someone, but I also would like them to bring a freshman and a senior transfer that would be ideal

What would be a reach? Nearly all of the players Capel has signed have been more highly rated than all of Stallings players per 247, except Carr (144). Though Johnson has far exceeded Carr. Amadasun is clearly a reach, but we can't rotate 13 players a night. I think some/most of us are scarred by Stallings two years. BB can be a quick turn around especially with a passionate coach. Stallings first year is a tourney team under Capel. The latter would have recruited just enough to make it so.

Capel's players are, generally speaking, not reaches. They're not all 4 star players but they're a vast improvement over what came before.

The c/o 2018 was all incredibly highly recruited and had multiple P5 offers each.

2019 - Drumgoole was a prize that everyone wanted. Coulibaly had at least a few P5 offers and anecdotally would have had more but he was firm on us early and shut his recruiting down. Champagnie had mostly mid-major offers but he's a higher ranked guy than most pre-Capel forward recruits like Stevenson.

2020 - Everyone wanted Hugley. Collier had several P5 offers. Amadasun is by far our lowest rated recruit of the Capel era but you do that for guys who are 6'10" and athletic.

Recruiting is by far better than it's been in many years.
 
Eh. Wrong. Why do you think Josh Jackson went to Kansas instead of the hometown Michigan State??? Momma got involved and double J got paid just like in HS
So not dirty to get the commit In the first place ,

Michigan state has proven to have no interest in integrity in athletics - very publicly

Because of Larry Nassar? That’s weak. He doesn’t cheat. It’s why Apple Jackson, yes that’s what Josh’s mother calls herself, stormed out of the office when Josh was trying to commit. I find it hard to believe he wouldn’t pay for him but he’ll pay for others.

Given what we’ve seen in college sports, I think it’s naive to assume MSU is squeaky clean.

Pitts best and probably only chance with Witt is if they can get him to reclassify, the top 2 guards in 21 have already reclassified to 20 I believe, and BC is in the driver seat as of right now
 
Wasnt in on the wiretap or in some testimony, something about Izzo not being willing to pay players. Maybe it was the Bowen thing. When you think about it, they've had very few 1 and done types.....so....

Absolutely no one is squeaky clean at that level, but Izzo has a reputation for doing things the right way. They are exceptionally good at identifying their type of player and building them up. For all the attention that UK, and now Memphis, gets give me guys like Izzo and Jay Wright all day.

Dan Dakich thinks Izzo cheats
