Okay, I'll probably get blasted for this, but...it isn't that I don't like this kid! This is never personal. He is obviously very, very intelligent, and probably a wonderful young man. And yes, we all know that the number of stars given do not always pan out. With that said, there is also a lot of credence in the following:
1. For any extremely strong player (no pun intended) there are numerous "winning programs, that of which we are not," who recruit the really strong players. I am sorry, but he does not have a list of really strong basketball schools, both quantity and quality recruiting him. To me, another example of just going after someone because we think we might be able to get him.
2. Stars? No they don't mean everything, but they are there. If I told you that we could have 2 players with 3 and 4 stars sight unseen or two players with 2 starts sight unseen, who are you going to take a chance on?
3. At times, probably because is has been so many times, The men's basketball programs has a lot of promise and strength between March and November. Then when the season starts.
4. Again, I am just providing my objective opinion - I too am tired of this team losing and just can't see us making a big push with players only rated 2 stars 95% of the time.
5. Plus, we did lose our two guards last year, for sake of argument, our two best players and we didn't have a winning record then.
6. It does seem that Ferry is either making more recruiting offers or it is just being advertised more.
7. I am glad that Wheeler (above) is a 3 star.
As everyone else on this board, I love Duquesne and want them to win.
Thanks for the therapy session.
