We are sure spending a lot of time watching Curbelo given that it's unclear he's even aware we are recruiting him.

I guess he didn’t clarify that for you then.. How do you say he’s unaware that we are recruiting him? We have followed him a ton, even to Europe. Doesn’t mean we will land him but your comment is puzzling to say the least.

Well, here's an article from 3 days ago where he is interviewed and lists a bunch of schools recruiting him. Guess which school is nowhere to be found? Less puzzled now?

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t know we are recruiting him. He just threw a few names out there. I get what you’re saying but I don’t think it means much. He just doesn’t seem focused on ecruiting right now.

Fair enough

I will add, I’m a bit in your camp in that we absolutely need a very talented 2020 class. I think you’re misreading the fans here telling you that you shouldn’t expect it. The problem is that with a new staff, they are literally 1-2 years behind recruiting these kids. It makes it more difficult. By all indications we are casting an extremely wide net and we are out there being VERY visible. That type of recruiting strategy is very much necessary with a staff that is trying to get kings rolling. Doesn’t bean we will land all the kids we want an we aww for sure behind by quite a margin. We aren’t being outworked though. The last staff barely recruited a h high schoolers and aside from Matt was extremely lazy on the recruiting trail:

They hav the coaches sitting in a different area.
Zed Key has been on the bench a very long time. But he is a big cheer leader.
Andre scoring in a variety of ways as I have seen him do before and leading the team as the floor General.

So because our past carousel of coaches failed to build a viable, sustainable program, it becomes imperative that Anderson exceed realistic expectations in his first recruiting cycle? I hope he does and he and the staff are certainly working their tails off, but imperative, no. It is imperative he put a well coached, team oriented, hard 40 minutes of competing squad out there while building the relationships needed to land the recruits we all want. He needs to walk the coaching walk rather than talking the coaches talk. He needs to SHOW recruits that SJU has stopped being a dysfunctional program first. Again, I sincerely hope I am wrong but I don’t think so.
