Heat in what way?

In CBB you’re allowed 4 coaches out on the road, last year opening weekend all 4 were out...same deal this weekend, not sure what’s different?

BTO - I’m not having this debate with you. If you wanna pretend we are doing what we’ve always done that’s fine.

Not the players themselves , he's earned the right. But anyone with brain can tell he is more active this recruiting cycle than before

I think it is safe to say that they are certainly more visible. Now is that because they are actually doing more, or because they are more noticeable coming off a successful, top-15 season and heading into another as a preseason top-15 team? I don't know the answer to that, and to expound it, if we actually land a higher caliber of players, is it because we worked harder or because we are now a more attractive option?

Maybe both. Hit the road with something to sell.

Definitely a combo of things. More schollies, sights set higher, more visible, more active, top 15 team, etc.

But it’s obvious to me we are more active this spring and have more traction. And we have our sights set higher.

Yep. Not complaining, just stating the obvious. Lol

The visits is where you can tell the biggest difference. You can say yeah the coaches went to AAU events last year but our aggressiveness on the trail has changed. Pretty obvious.

Or could it be tied directly to the success they had last year and the fact that things are on the up and up?

Another consideration is perhaps these are kids they have been on since their freshman year. So we have a better connection and more invested in these higher ranked kids. Perhaps it took that kind of long-term investment combined with any of the other reasons we've named to become serious contenders with some of these big-name kids.

We definitely have more traction and have our sights set higher...but I just disagree we are more active.

Not buying that.

It is hard for some to accept the coaches were wise to be realistic and judicious with whom they pursued given the state of the program their first couple of seasons. They now have tangible success and an upward trend they can point to with the kids they have been recruiting for the past few years.

Back to Lecque: He said in an interview before when talking about reclassifying that he views himself as a one and done player, and if the situation he wants to go into doesn't allow him to be one and done in 2018-19, then he's fine with not reclassifying and staying in 2019 class. So I'm not sure if that opportunity would present itself to him this cycle, but it might in 2019. I just wouldn't get my hopes up about him coming period, but especially in the 2018 class.

He would have the opportunity wherever he goes. He’s that talented.
