Maybe our first Frazier recruit...

My granddaughter attends VA Tech, so I sorta follow them.  This was an interesting tidbit.  I can't see him coming if Kofi returns, but...?

I agree I only see him coming if Kofi leaves, unless they could sell him on more minutes split 4-5 slot. He seems like he gets up the floor pretty well, his offensive moves seem limited though, but then again most 7' seem that way because of the size.

I really think Kofi could come back, he needs to develop more of an offensive game and work on his hands and passing as well....we will see the $$$$ anywhere might be to much.

Brief but good article in the news gazette about Frazier and his recruiting in the past. We may be fine with him on the trail, I still wouldn't mind Irvin in an unofficial capacity as well though.

I don't think we get Huss, so....and VT is soon to lose their other asst coach as he may be headed to Florida. We aren't the only ones looking for a solid get.

Yeah.

Send me the people who say recruiting won't suffer a major setback. I have bridges to sell.

What major setback? A minor bump in the road, some start to panic.

Well Storr is a big deal and I’m sure there will be others.

I’m not panicking by any means, but it is gonna be a little concerning going forward. Especially not having a full staff in place. The sooner we get this settled the sooner we can see where we’re at and evaluate.

Storr is blowing up. It was going to be tough to keep him committed regardless of staff changes. But beyond Storr, replacing what OA brought to the program is going to be difficult if not impossible. That’s the major setback.

We are still Storr's best listed offer. Who else do you think will reopen? There is only one other unsigned commit. The 5 incoming are sounding upbeat, though anything can happen.

TyTy to KY gel and reportedly Chin, OA, and Jai all taking credit. Their people were even crediting OA snd Chin for the transfer from IA. Lucas and Bruiser gotta be looking for an exit.

Sounds like Storr and Chin are pretty tight. My guess is he’ll be Kentucky bound unless Frazier and our TBA staff can close the gap quickly.

So far no others have decommitted or had a change of heart, but there could be others in ‘22 and ‘23.

So Uberwood finds someone who brings other things to the table. I was hanging around in 1983 when we lost Tony Yates. Some were sure that was it for Henson. Then he hired a former player and current probation officer whose coaching experience consisted of 3 years as a volunteer at a grade school?
