Bryan Penn-Johnson was unranked when we offered, so I thought we had a ER good shot but now I see 247 has him in the low 30's now. That's a huge increase

This is my losing mentality, but it just feels good to be in the mix for these guys. Hope we land a few, because I feel that Wade has shown he can maximize talent.

It's a big recruiting year for Wade. He has (at least) 5 scholarships to offer and a dire need for frontcourt players with both (likely) starters, Reath and Combs, being Seniors. It's not just lip service to tell Freshman they will have an opportunity to start on day one.

He did but he stopped doing things for scout and it kinda stopped completely once Ben love was sent packing.

Smart should be first priority. He will bring other talented guys with him that would want to play with him. The future is very bright for tiger basketball.
