I'm hopeful that the success with the current players and these we have signed can be used to help build on our recruiting so that a 4-star caliber guy like Lee becomes almost common place.

I don't think CMA and Haase are recruiting the same type of player. All CMA needed was a player who would fit his system. Not necessarily the top ranked players. Anyway, I'm just glad Haase recruiting is 100x better than Davis recruiting. It is the reason I see big things for the future of the program for the first time in a long time. Never believed in Davis after a few years of watching.

Also, I think Haase has all he needs with what he has so far. Anything else, would be icing on the cake.

I agree overall. Still think we could do better in terms of getting some pure shooters to go along with our athletes. Calhoun is a good start. Also would love to get an AJ or Squeaky caliber PG. Frazier is promising but he will be gone in a couple years. Maybe Watts will really continue to develop and fill that role. Definitely think we are in great position in the 3, 4, and 5 spots for years to come.

I like Watts at point better than Frazier anyway. I think we should make the switch.
