Class of 2023 MBB recruiting thread

We run an offense & defense that were developed at places with slow, short, athletically limited, white kids to allow them to be able to compete. Sanchez is trying to find players to fit that system, instead of just getting the best players he can get & fitting a system to the players. That’s why he’s not interested in the abundance of talent right here in our back yard.

Had to be the rebounding. Can’t be hanging around for offensive rebounds.

I just don’t care. Literally. I’m not even angry. I just don’t care.

I have to realize that just because a player is local that doesn’t mean he wants to go to college locally. (Can look at my own children and nephews to see that.) We are recruiting the QC metro so not like we’re ignoring the high school talent in our own back yard. After all, we offered two locals yesterday.

Anyway, good luck to Strong at BC.

It’s really getting comical. Our basketball program is embarrassingly funny. I am surprised kids don’t want to learn more about our emerging rivalry with Detroit Mercy. Or how we whipped instate powerhouse Western Carolina in Daytona’s biggest college basketball tournament in March

Figured we were in ATL this weekend:

We should just invite the 5 people left in the stands to start our first AAC game for us.

You know, give back to the fans.

See that FAU and Memphis in ATL too. Probably more AAC represented but recruiting writers typically just note the big names in attendance.
