Kid is from Chicago, offered by Illinois a year ago, has taken two visits there, and Groce has visited with the kid.

So logically, Memphis jumps in this week.

Memphis also then offers #291 Nick Honor, who is being courted by the likes of:
American
Boston University
Dayton
Georgia Southern
James Madison
Massachusetts
Memphis
North Florida
South Alabama
Toledo
Towson
UCF

What a Jeckyl and Hyde method of recruiting.

By my best count, Memphis has now offered 13 PG for 2018.

This is no knock on any one of the coaches but does anyone else feel like Sal is to Tubby what BaBaBooey is to Howard? (Or am I the only fan?)

Does that make Esposito "High Pitched Eric?"

I don't know anything about recruiting, but the tweet from the Dosunmu kid was nice to see.

We need a 2018 PG & it is obvious the staff recognizes the need & is attempting to address it. Isn't that a good thing? Hope we get the right guy. Go Tigers!

Absolutely.

Can some find fault with a $100 bill? Absolutely.

Not that, it's wasting time at this point in the game trying to "get in" with a 4* who, by all accounts, is a Illinois lock or by getting desperate and offering a 300 ranked kid because he plays on the same team as another (non-PG) target.

With only three current scholarships open, it seems odd to offer package deals.

Unless something unusual is happening, Memphis shouldn't be [b]offering[/i] any more 2018's. You either have done the work to be in on them or you are spinning your wheels trying to cram in work to get a commit in two months.

I do not care what method Tubby employs even when it makes little sense to me as long as the method results in signing a high quality PG.

So much for recruiting being fluid I guess, you paint a mighty black and white picture.

Just being logical.

Most recruit "gets" are a by-product of building relationships over a long period of time. Or they come through a hugely successful program being able to offer the opportunity to get massive exposure.

good grief. If we think what our fans have to say affects how potential players view our program, then it logically follows that this haphazard approach to acquiring a PG is making an even worse impression.

You miss the point. It's not so much what you say harming the program, it's that public criticism, making the same negative comments over & over again, with certainty, doesn't help the program. Whatever your criticism of the staff in a public forum when repeated continually about everything the staff does or doesn't do, clearly doesn't help the program. It's one thing to voice concerns, something else entirely to be so predictably critical of every topic Tubby - it doesn't help the program of which you claim to be a fan.

Apparently, and incredibly, this staff is damned if you do and damned if you don't in the eyes of some here.

I was talking to an old high school buddy yesterday about the BB program. I told him we got lucky when pastner left but I just can't get enthusiastic about the hiring of tubby. We've both been fans since Bartow.

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.

He hustled our boosters out of a wad of cash that's for sure. Now he'll probably win a national championship.
