    One of the recruiting sites, espn I think, is super low on him or doesn’t have him ranked at all so it hurts his composite but he’s 44 in 247 and 60 something on rivals

    I know, but that's UL. He whiffed on a class or two before leaving us. That's where I'm coming from.

    My point is that Travis, so far, has certainly demonstrated an ability to close the deal with highly rated recruits, whereas Mack appeared to struggle accomplishing that.

    Whatever. Right now and moving forward, it's all about the 2% and NC's.

    Primary recruiter: Dante Jackson, so far he's been the primary on Wilcher, Dieonte Miles, and Dahmir Bishop. He's earning his stripes right now, really hapy he's been able to recruit well. Now we'll see where we'll go with this class, if we can get Ben Carlson on board too, this class could be better than the 2019 class, and I thought Steele did phenomenal with that one. Let's keep the train rolling.

    As for the difference between Mack's last few classes and Steele's first two, I wonder how much of it is having Ben Johnson, Jonah Hayes, and Dante on staff as well. Ben Johnson has had a pretty damn good track record of getting talent to commitment, and that's even at Minnesota who isn't a Top 25 school, Dante is young and hungry, willing to prove himself. Not to mention can relate well with these guys, and share his experiences. And Hayes is well known for his big man development in Georgia, and got Odom on.. Just something else to ponder as well

    Exactly, these assistants seem like real go-getters. Plus if Johnson can close on Carlson.. we need to keep these assistants happy at Xavier as long as possible!

    True, hopefully we can avoid all the attrition of some of mack's classes as well
