The myth of JJ being a good recruiter

Everyone always talks about how Johnny Jones is such a good recruiter, but the way I see it Hornsby, Mickey and Quarterman have been the only big time recruits that JJ actually got to come here.

As we all know, Simmons came here because of his godfather, David Patrick. Blakeney doesn't come if Simmons doesn't come.

Martin and Sampson are both from BR and therefore it's hard to give the coach credit for recruiting them when all they did was stay home. Victor also falls in this category.

Elbert Robinson and Josh Gray were both big time recruits coming in that have been busts.

Johnny O'Bryant obviously wasn't recruited by him and on top of that he ran Hickey out of town.

So when it's all said and done Coach Jones is really only responsible for Hornsby, Quarterman, Mickey, and Epps (Added to the list because I feel like his ceiling is very high).

Therefore, not only is our coach not very good at the coaching part, but when it's really broken down he isn't all that great of a recruiter either. If he can't win with this team, he can't win.
