Perhaps, just perhaps, the guy doesn't want to come because he sees the guys already here and is not confident that he will play immediately...............In any event, if he goes somewhere else, I am glad it it not a school in our state or conference.
This is an issue we will encounter going forward.
A few years ago we were recruiting to stock the team with elite talent, to be on the same field with the elite teams.
We selled playing time on a team trying to rise vs elite teams that were stocked with talent across the board.
We have risen to elite status which means schools will recruit against our stocked roster.
This is not unlike 2002-2005 era where we still had alot of talent but not adding enough elite thanks to other schools selling PT. Coker and his staff failed to overcome this problem.
I can be wrong, but I think Mario, his staff and the school are in better position to do better.
