Are we at the point where the P5 should just stop high school recruiting
particularly for kids that will definitely need to sit a year and instead focus on younger players from mid-majors or D2 programs that got a lot of competition and playing time? Leave the high school recruiting to blue-chippers that can have an impact from day 1?
I think the answer is largely no, given that VT seems to have more success with transfers when there was some kind of prior relationship but at the same time, if VT could get a kid that has shown something playing 1 season at the college level vs. a kid coming from high school that *might* contribute in year 1, they probably take the college kid, right?

He will likely wait and see who returns for Duke and UK...

Is this another example of picking the best school instead of best fit?

Is it safe to assume that CMY and staff still have potential recruits

Spot on, to bad it’s so rare they go after the best fit. Certainly worked

Is VT still involved? CC made it sound like that ship sailed. **

I definitely think the high school guys need to make better decisions.
