What???
How about higgledy-piggledy then?
hap·haz·ard: lacking any obvious principle of organization.
synonyms: random, unplanned, unsystematic, unmethodical, disorganized, disorderly, irregular, indiscriminate, chaotic, hit-and-miss, arbitrary, aimless, careless, casual, slapdash, slipshod, chance, accidental, higgledy-piggledy
What's the basis for this line of thought?
Clearly the staff is on Lomax, Harris and others.
The point is, why offer such a wide range of point guards if you truly are in with Lomax, Harris, and others? Why place an offer do you aren't taking a commitment?
Even you have to admit 13 pg offers for one spot is a bit much.
I seem to remember someone thinking JP had 95 active offers out at some early point in his tenure & how the general view here was what a hustler he was.
I have no idea about the mechanics of his recruiting prowess, because Pastner produced, so we rarely put him under the magnifier for recruiting. His deal was coaching. But I do know that Pastner was in on the kids earlier, made them feel special and identified talent earlier. He didn't wait till the last sec and start flailing around offering kids.
Maybe our Pastner staff kept it on the down low, but they did not offer D2 players, nor were they seen parked on the benches at JUCO tournaments. This is not a good look for us, not to mention the fact that Aki and Damon were never pictured grabbing their crotches, as a technique to land players.
But, the biggest diff of all is, Pastner and his assistants actually landed good recruits--prolly even one too many, the year of the 4 Kings. lol.
Why can't we have both....? A staff that can land 'em so Tubby doesn't have to coach them up so far.
