I understand what you are saying but it is not exactly rare for todays coaches to start from scratch. Two years in and Pope had an empty cupboard, his own cupboard, to replace this season. While we did have injuries, almost every team has injuries. I will admit that last year was the first time I have seen a coach heavily recruit a guy hobbled by a severe injury then, get to use that injury as an excuse for the whole season.

Recruiting Intel: Latest buzz, frontrunners and predictions for the top remaining 2027 prospects
With the Early Signing Period fast approaching, here's the latest recruiting intel on the top remaining uncommitted prospects in the 2027 class, including frontrunners, predictions, and schools gaining or losing momentum.
On3
Black to Arkansas, but taking his time
Rosser - seems to suggest UNC still very involved, but so are UK, Ville and Ark. They question whether Ark will spend.
Williams - BYU
Diggs - Zona
Daughtry - same ol, but he will wait till spring
Anderon - Tenn & Va
Jalen Davis - UNC
Jordan - Vandy
Millogo - UK
Millogo & Hampton a find class for Pope, if that's where it lands. If he gets a 28 reclass, even sweeter. I don't think you want to go overboard with HS.
I think it’s Benji if Rosser goes elsewhere which I’m totally fine with. 3 man class then retention and portal.Recruiting Intel: Latest buzz, frontrunners and predictions for the top remaining 2027 prospects

I think the "plan" is probably Hampton, Millogo... Stay in the hunt for Rosser (doubtful unless we overspend and promise to build the team around him), and if you lose Rosser, they will use that offer for Benji, Kamagate, or both in the spring as reclasses. If we do land Millogo, his agent and Yann K's are the same and both have the Aboyo connection. It's a long way from a done deal though. Pope needs to hit a homerun with this class, not necessarily a world series grand slam, but a solo shot to get on the board and show some power. He's been swinging for the fences and either striking out or flying out to straightaway left a lot. Millogo shooting up the rankings probably made his price tag go up. Hope UK can lock him down before he takes a turn opens back up his recruiting.
Those diva high 5*s seem like such PIA's in the NIL era. You end up blowing 1/4 of your NIL on em and they come with demands. If it's Flagg or Boozer I get it, no one here that good.
Ament waiting till spring last year, he sucked and now he sucks in the NBA. I get it if you can lock em up early, but who wants to wait to the spring to land these guys?
The reality is that you should throw all of em in a pool with the portal guys at the same time so you can shop for what you need collectively.
If ncaa legislation is passed, limiting transfers, we will HAVE TO compete in high school recruiting again. Our portal success could be a path that is completely closed off as an option for building a team if congress passes an ncaa bill now or in the future. What then?
Only 6 of them rated as 5 stars, seems like a pretty weak class that so many on here obsessed over.
Buzz that Milligos decision could be coming soon. Good news imo
Yeah we lead for Ken Whiffy Jr. a forward out of Seattle.
After his dad called Wade a crook and every other name in the book lmfao. You can’t make this stuff up.Duke has no problem getting kids to leave home, nor does ark, only pope
Pope was even going to give Alston dad a job and still couldn't sign him
Just think of these young grandpa's!Duke has no problem getting kids to leave home, nor does ark, only pope
Pope was even going to give Alston dad a job and still couldn't sign him
/s
If he could nab Rosser and Millogo to go with Hampton that would be by far his best effort since he’s been here and something to look forward too with portal adds and retention.
I think Mason Williams has turned into a pretty great recruit. I think you'd rather have a top 100 guy like him rather than a top 20 guy like Jasper Johnson. You can't rely on this strategy, as Tubby Smith proved, but it's not something to dismiss either.
I can be wrong, as my memory isn't what it used to be, but I think Hawkins and Fitch weren't in the top rankings back then. Bogans was. I'd love to have a Hawkins and Fitch again.
