Not saying that keeps Jones job, but you can't say we'll we've had good recruits and put Hueitt and Godwin, etc. in the same category as Allette.

Hueitt had a couple P5 offers. Godwin flipped from Richmond. Both were three stars. They were definitely both busts, but you can't say they weren't sought after. The staff did a good job recruiting them. They were both rated higher and had "better" offers than Ahmad Caver for example. Of course, Ahmad wound up being a far better player. Which probably shows how much we should care about ratings more than anything, because Caver was great.

Both Godwin and Hueitt were around 350 in player rankings. Decent gets for us. Allette is in the top 150 (maybe 125?)

Just going off 247:

Huiett had offers from Buffalo, Charlotte, Delaware, Hampton. I thought I remember him having others but I don't remember P5 offers.

Godwin had offers from Richmond, Hampton, Howard, and MES

Allette has offers from Georgia Tech, Arizona State, Boston College, Depaul, SMU, St Johns, VCU, Washington State. He had an official visit to Georgia Tech.

His last "5" were Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Dayton, Seton Hall, and ODU.

Hueitt also had Rutgers, Missouri, MTSU, JMU, Richmond. But it doesn't really matter. He came, he was a bust, he left.

Allette is more highly regarded and has even better offers, so Im very glad he's committed to ODU, hope he has a great career here and goes to multiple NCAA tournaments. Our coaches, especially Brooks, did an outstanding job.

From Rivals, Allette says. “They play a fast-paced style and they need a guard that goes well with that". Uh, what? I think he has ODU mixed up with someone else. He loves the assistant coach Brook, from reading up on that site, says "he's my guy", he wanted me at Xavier when he was there.

Does this kid even know anything about how Jones coaches?
