re: Basketball recruiting future

I dont think he has yet. He looked pretty slender at the Michigan game. Hopefully he will add some muscle. Has a very nice floor game.

These are Wade’s last two classes of guys that have suited up

Cam Thomas
Trendon Watford

James bishop
Charles manning
Deshawn Thomas
Wilkinson
Gaines
Cook
Penn-Johnson
Shareef ONeal
Leblanc

Outside of the 2 Cant Miss guys what do you have exactly ?

I’m not sure his strength is evaluating as much as it is closing. Wade almost always skims from the top, and the headline players on the roster are always guys he beats the historic schools for.

I’m not sure he is great at recruiting-to-fit & implementing roles. The mid-to bottom has not been that great. Lacks true role players that make up good rosters. In some cases has total voids at certain positions. I’m not sure this happens with truly great evaluators.

The bones are there, though. I still do not think Wade has had his breakthrough as a coach yet.

Gaines and Murray were guys very under the radar...: like had almost no other big offers when we offered them.
