Wake sends someone all of his local games. There’s definitely a strong push to keep him. Our staff put ton of work into showing him how he fits. NIL is highly organized. They’ve put all the effort they can into Juke. He didn’t delay and visit KU. I can’t read the tea leaves, but he loves coaches/potential teammates. Mom loves Barnes, which is always big. Gotta feel like we have a good shot. The flurry of action in the portal makes me worry we’re scrambling, but it’s probably just spreading odds to make sure we have options. I don’t like the fact that losers have free time to recruit, but I’d rather be a winner right now and have that to sell.

Are you suggesting Juke would be a reclass guy? He’s 2024 so I don’t see much correlation at all with increased activity in the portal to a 2024 guy deciding.

I was thinking the same thing. Scrambling in the portal shouldn't be any reflection on Juke I wouldn't think.

Wouldn’t that probably have more to do with the kid that ended up going to Tulsa? Just from the reaction of those in the know here, that would have seemed to initiate scramble mode.

Sorry. Sloppy wording. Separate points. Last week, I heard we felt good about a PG target, and continued solid footing with big. This week heard four new portal targets. Juke absolutely not reclassifying.

Gotcha, yea the increased portal activity I would presume is due to Cobe heading to Tulsa. Also, we’ve now seen 2 years in a row that once a guy enters the portal things can change from what you thought were gonna happen, if we are smart we will cast a little wider net as guys enter the portal. For one our original plans can fall through as we’ve seen, but also maybe a guy that’s better enters the portal and he actually has legitimate interest and you didn’t expect that, no reason for them to just lock in on a guy or two before even the portal window opens imo.

Apparently was at WF with his AAU team this past week so that’s not ideal, like you I think we are optimistic but not heard an answer which we’ve seen before not be a great sign for us.

Somewhat related but also to what you just said, NCAA needs to implement a recruiting dead period or something this time of year…you’re essentially awarding the teams who have struggled by letting them visit players etc while other schools have to juggle NCAAT prep with recruiting so you don’t fall behind on these guys.

May be by design to help level the field between the better teams and everyone else?

That may be the case on paper and in many instances, but North Carolina is currently benefitting while Princeton still plays. Duke has a headstart on Florida Atlantic. Arizona and Kansas have a leg up on every NIT team.

The recruiting calendar was created prior to the new portal, it wasn’t a big deal at all, it needs to be adjusted now.
