I was surprised to see the BE with only one player in the top 20 and only three ranked 50 or higher. I was actually expecting to see better numbers. The SEC for example has 17 of the ESPN top 100 of which 8 are in the top 50 and three of those are in the top 6. The quality of recruits in subsequent BE classes should improve though as the current crop of recent hires get more settled in.

Most , if not nearly all, of these players were locked up before Rick took over . There has been some waffling , I.e. Gardner and Dual , who recommitted to PC but , we weren’t in play for these Class of 23 guys .
Can’t put blame on him for that .

Gardner ? Apparently not a good fit for the Player or School . He hasn’t been snatched up yet as far as I know ?

Ranked #24 in the portal. Neptune has been a pretty poor high school recruiter thus far, but he's done a great job in the portal and will have some strong players returning. Definitely think they'll be back in March Madness next year.

I have watched Hakim play at least 25 times the last
two seasons. He is a good player and fits Villanova's system well but not somebody that will dominate a game. Maryland has two highly ranked recruits that were going to eat into his playing time.

I was also curious to say he hasn’t been in the news. Does anyone know if St John’s granted his release from his NLI? I assume there is some paperwork associated with that. Maybe just wanting for everything to clear up? Can’t imagine St John’s would think about denying or even delaying the request.

He’s been released. No hang up, he asked for it, Pitino said okay, we’re moving on.
