yeah, prohm said he prefers non-gamedays so he and the staff can really show them around. hard to "sell" a program if you're focused on an upcoming game and not the recruit.

That was DMac's philosophy in football. Of course, that might be partly due to the sub-par game atmosphere for most of those years. Personally, I think we need to get recruits in here to experience Hilton Magic.

I'm having a real hard time seeing 40 better high school prospects than Lindell.

We need to remember the rankings also factor in "potential" and "projection for next year".

I'd agree there aren't many more prepared and producing players in America, definitely not 40. If Wigginton was 6'5" and half a step quicker he'd likely be top 10 in my opinion.

(same case could have been made for Niang and Morris when they were HS seniors.)

Without any tape of these two, and going basically off of physical stature. Raynere is Deonte Burton, and Kyvon is Darrel Bowie/Merril Holden

Good comparison. In my opinion, based off of comparing juco stats and measurabels.
Raynere = Dustin Hogue
Kyvon = Jameel McKay lite.

Give me a Dusty Hogue 10 times out of 10. Kyvon being 6'8 185 scares me, but again, I haven't seen any tape on this kid. Solely going on measurables.

I'm happy the staff is taking their time but damn it would be nice to hear some positive recruiting news.
