Boogie is undeniably a talented player. I hope he ends up in the Big East.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I don’t understand why we spend valuable time and resources recruiting players wildly out of our price range. It’s low IQ behavior.
It’s not even remotely possible to land a player like that.
We have open coaching spots?Probably what they said about Whitehead and Delgado. Trust the process.
Not only is that pre NIL era, it’s pre facilities arms race era too. It’s such an apples and oranges comparison.Probably what they said about Whitehead and Delgado. Trust the process.
You do so to maintain relationships and develop a connection with the player, handlers, HS and AAU coaches. Also, the boomerang effect. Finally, you may just get a kid you connect with and the stars align.Maybe an unpopular opinion but I don’t understand why we spend valuable time and resources recruiting players wildly out of our price range.

Doesn’t even matter anymore since you get to pay the player directlyWe have open coaching spots?

Doubt our resources including time are being unwisely spent.
Does Tiny Morton coach Fland?Probably what they said about Whitehead and Delgado. Trust the process.
They came to SHU for free? And no one else offered them anything?You do realize there's this thing called NIL right? If it existed back then we wouldn't have gotten them either
Exactly. And I also expect many more schools reached out to him than listed, so just making the list provided to the recruiting sites means some free publicity, even if he never really considers us.Expressing interest isn't the same as using up valuable resources.
It's coaching malpractice not to assess the situation. If/when you realize you're not a serious player, you move on.
I don't expect Fland to be a Pirate but the only way he will be is if we reach out. If we sit on the sidelines, we know he won't be here.
That explains my failed dating strategy in college…This is not just a Boogie situation. This is a consistent trend. I respect the staff for fighting these recruiting battles but there needs to be balance. You need to operate in a realm of reality. They spend a considerable amount of time and money recruiting players that cost 2x, 3x, or even 4x what we can spend on a player. If you know someone is being shopped for $750K and you have 1 recruiter on the entire staff it's not prudent to allocate time recruiting that player.
