I realize this hasn't come to be (yet) and, Brellstorm, I realize you're just keeping us all informed, but it's cases like this that I don't get. Are we more interested in recruiting transfers from schools like Grand Canyon at the expense of recruiting talented metro-area HS kids who, theoretically, are supposed to be the backbone of our program?[/quote]
I think this thread is just a generic list of transfers vs. the Guys on Matt's Radar thread which is more who folks think STJ is or should be targeting.[/quote]
I thought I made that clear in my post. If not, my point was I'd like to see us be very, very, very selective in even considering transfers from lower-level programs who'd be taking 'ships away from metro-area kids (or maybe the occasional not metro-area 4 or 5 star kid). When he took the job, Mullin (and I'm not against him at all, just disappointed in some of his decisions) made it sound like recruiting locally was a priority, and yet we lost someone like Luther Mohammad because we signed a mid-major transfer and a lower-rated kid from Florida.
