Read an interesting article about the changes in priorities for coaches recruiting efforts.

1. Grad transfers

2. Any other transfers whether they sit out or not

3. JC recruits

4. Prep school players who have had the extra year of competition.

5. High School seniors. (exception being the one and done)

In other words the emphasis is on who can help me right away. Less emphasis on building a team over the long term. Pressure to win immediately may be the reason.

It’s way more of a blend than ever before.

But you build the base with the HS kids and add from there, IMO.

Suggs' stats won't blow you away but he is a high energy guy who plays decent defense. Eligible to play 19-20.

I am a firm believer that stats aren't everything, so that doesn't concern me.  I just wish we had more (ANY) depth outside of the G position.

If William is eligible, our post depth should be just fine given the style Mullins intends to implement; 4 guard/wing lineups with a big manning the paint. We have good size at the guard positions.

If William isn't immediately eligible, it'd be nice to add a JC big for depth if any viable options are still out there.

I would bet Suggs. All the other visitors this week were in the 2020 class.
