Top 100 recruits are always good for business, he's going to be a helluva player, Coach Hayes on the staff definitely is the major reason for this one, good stuff from Steele to find great assistants that can recruit, let's hope their player development is just as good!! Very excited about the news

Just blown away with how Steele has made brilliant move after move since he was hired as head coach.
- Brings in assistants who can recruit well.
- Brings in several badly needed, very solid last minute transfers
- Gets the most coveted prospect his assistant was working to reel in to commit.
Boy, things are look pretty good indeed.
Well score one for Hayes, Johnson needs to put one in the commit column.

He's certainly solidified his reputation as a recruiter. I'm anxious to see what the team looks like on the floor.Quote:

For what it's worth, the 2019 recruits seem a bit more similar to those players returning from last year.
I'd love to see us keep this momentum going and add another talented and athletic big and another deep threat in the 2019 class.
Who was the recruiter of Stainbrook?
Or was he just looking to transfer on a winning team?
Good question. Always thought it was Mack. but that's only because he was the one who spoke about him to the press.Quote:

Updated 247 rankings: Samari Curtis (92), Elias King (99).
We're starting to get a few more crystal balls for armaan franklin now...
Really hope we can land Zeke Nnaji. That kid looks like a stud.
If we get Franklin I bet we lose Curtis. Rivals has King at 50. Recruiting is someone’s opinion.
