You all must be looking at it through a different lens than I am. A great outcome would've been getting a positive surprise somewhere. Neither of the two high school guys who started trending toward signing late in the process fell through, and the two who had a real chance to get through (Essenburg and Walker) are both likely to sign. Jenkins was a good enough prospect that someone could throw some money at him, but nearly a handful of people I talk to frequently felt like he'd show up since he committed in September. Cerny was a late add as a possible draft guy but he always had a pretty good chance of showing up. Duffey is one of my favorite transfer additions but never heard concern at all on him not showing up.I didn’t understand that either. All 3 were never touching campus. Echeman I never thought would come either. Jenkins turning down draft was huge and both Duffey and cerny presumably coming is as well. Only Walker was a bummer if he does sign.
I don't think it was a brutal draft or a disaster or anything like that. Avoided anything out of left field. But if you would've asked me pre-draft what a good outcome would be, it would've been Jenkins, Cerny and at least one of Essenburg or Walker.
