Troy just snagged a 4-star HS recruit
Probably the most-hyped recruit in Troy history.
PG Antwan Burnett, a 4-star recruit per ESPN. Ranked as the #29 PG in the nation, and #2 overall in Alabama.
Had offers from Auburn, Tennessee, USF, San Francisco, and South Alabama.
He's also a highly-touted WR in football with offers from Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, and USF.
Scott Cross is blazing the recruiting trail right now...

The basketball recruiting around the Sun Belt seems to have really shot up this year.

Meanwhile at South, Richie Riley gets 2-year extension on his contract.

Honestly, I think the president resigning combined with everything coming to a halt due to COVID-19 saved his job for this year. His move to let Cross go does not appear to be working out.

There is that. Does anyone have attendance numbers from last two seasons, compared with Cross's last two years? I suspect that is where we are really hurting now, despite all the very imaginative promotions and free ticket giveaways.

UT-Arlington
Chris Ogden:
2019-2020 - 1,754 (#7 in SBC attendance)
2018-2019 - 1,881 (#6 in SBC attendance)
Scott Cross:
2017-2018 - 2,345 (#2 in SBC attendance)
2016-2017 - 2,798 (#3 in SBC attendance)
2015-2016 - 4,532 (#1 in SBC attendance)
Troy
Scott Cross:
2019-2020 - 2,509 (#3 in SBC attendance)
Phil Cunningham
2018-2019 - 1,098 (#6 in SBC attendance)
2017-2018 - 2,087 (#6 in SBC attendance)
2016-2017 - 1,285 (#9 in SBC attendance)
There seems to be a correlation in attendance going up when Scott Cross is head coach.

Troy just officially signed Antwan Burnett today.
I was worried he wouldn't stay committed because Auburn and USF were still recruiting hard.

Thanks, Cardinal! It's even worse than I expected. Of course, to be fair, the trend was downward under Cross after 2016, and would've continued downward again after his very talented underachievers left after 2018. I'm hoping Ogden will show some recruiting talent and get us back up to where we were when we beat Texas, BYU, OSU, St. Mary's, Memphis, etc. So far, he's gotten a few good players, but no four stars and not many bigs.

Did Cross bring in guys that were highly-rated recruits while at UTA? Or did he take mostly 2-star players and develop them into great players?

I think he brought in mostly 2 star guys, but Neal and Hervey may have been 3 stars. He also got quite a few higher rates guys come in as transfers from Power 5 schools when they wanted to come play closer to home.
