Dem be my Top 6 must gets at the moment.
Next year is the right year to have a big class.
With that said...I fully expect a ton of the names we talk about now to not be recruited by the end of the summer and even more by October...
Lol why do you say that? That six you listed they NEED to stay on. Might be hard but staff needs to stay in DALVIN too and convince him and Sony to come. Can't let him get to another school.
At this time last year, you had Al Golden kicking down the doors of Archbishop Carroll HS demanding he speak with Leroy Clark.
Its just nature of the beast...a ton of the guys we are talking about now haven't even been really evaluated yet...they might not even know some of these dudes names yet. Just being real.
Then, you got spring evals, you got summer camps...and guys fall by the wayside during the process. By September/October, you start to see schools whittle their list down and get focused on the big boys. Remember, Golden wants to keep a 60/40 ratio of in-state kids to national kids...so, if we got a 29 kid class...you'll get about 12 from South Florida (consider another 4-5 from in-state but not local). We got what...30 different kids listed in this thread right now, and a bunch will end up going elsewhere, for sure...
At this time last year...of all the names in SoFla and nationally, listed...we ended up with maybe...6 of them? (Burns, Carter, Olsen, Grace, Coley, Ray Ray)?
Just nature of the beast. We're basically talking about 16 year olds right now...a lot will change. It should be expected.
Names a lot of people had on these lists at this point last year...
