What truly sucks about these comments about Tad is that they're true. We are headed in the wrong direction and recruiting has become a joke! Tad needs to step up his game and recruit top players, not just marginal talent. I'm hoping he gets Davis to commit, but it doesn't look promising. Jessup is not PAC12 talent and he's not going to make CU better. he's great for UNC.... what we need is a talented and versatile big.....
...I somewhat agree with you, but let's take everything into perspective. First off, hats off to Jessup for earning a scholarship offer. I don't know the conditions of it, but perhaps Sacky, with family's approval, can tell us details - i.e. how solid the offer is. It does seem weird to me to offer a development kid for a year down the road, after he graduates. I'm not saying anything about Jessup's ability, just that the situation is odd.
I've been very annoyed with Boyle's recruiting, especially as of late. However, this is the same coach that has recruited some solid players, more than his predecessors. Even Coach K at Duke has gotten flack for his recruiting as recently as a few years ago, but those criticizing him realize he knows bball better than fans and is trying his hardest. While Boyle may not get the same amount of leeway, the same holds true. He knows more about bball (on and off court) than the vast majority of us fans (includine me), and I have no doubt he is trying hard.
With that said, yes, recrutiing is underwhelming and at times disappointing. I'm sort of annoyed that outside of Davis, we haven't really been in serious rumor mills for other top players...but again, I'm not a coach or in the program. For great coaches, I think recruiting goes in cycles, and I'm hoping we have a great one (not yet, but eventually).
Go Buffs - there has been a lot of whining about Tad and bball program the past year, and much of it justified. However, I hope none of you are seriously thinking that our coach isn't a solid one, and that he isn't working hard to make the program better. Because if you are... ...you're a ****ing moron.
