Not many of them were going to look at UNCW seriously, and with Covid his ability to develop new recruiting connections was shut down completely. Taking a shot at these high level recruits is fun, but I don't recall us really seeing them come on the team.

No, but he's going after these guys early before they start getting P5 offers. I don't think he prioritizes them after they get P5 interest. I don't see either of these guys as targets for us now nor do I see the Mading kid as one. Ezuma is the only high school kid I think we'll go after during the late signing period. The rest will be transfers.

As for his connections, Siddle and Sanders are in good standing with most of the high school/AAU coaches in our region. Most AAU programs have kids that will go on to the High Major level and Mid Major level, I don't think he necessarily needs to develop new connections.

I would think some of those connections he had the first time here would play too.
