I'll go the opposite way. I get really tired of CMY's
awww schucks/sniff sniff routine. Yes, he should find the guys who HE thinks will help his team win. Presumably that's why he signed Cone, Ojiako, Bamisile, N'Guessan and Haynes. Did those guys help the team win? Recruiting services don't get the same looks he gets, and just like him, don't always get it right. But I'll also guarantee you in every recruiting year if he thinks he has a legit shot at top, high rated talent, he isn't taking 2 stars until he thinks he's out of the game with the 5 stars. With respect to Aluma and Cattoor, it's really easy to fall back on the 'I don't care about stars routine' when you're talking about transfers you got when you had no better options. And yes, they both turned out to be much better than their recruiting rankings, but he didn't recruit them over Joe Bamisile type players either.
