An SEC Coach : “Chris Capko at USC , Ron Sanchez at Virginia , and Mike Young at Virginia Tech . I think all three of them do a great job of evaluating and developing talent. They also value a lot of the same things that I/we value in recruiting.”

I’m trying to figure out which SEC program this coach is most likely to be from and have absolutely no clue.

Is this part of the NCAA ad campaign, “Almost all of us go pro in something other than sports”

This is like the 10th interview post Bliss that hes mentioned us, either hes the kon alternative or these interviewers need to leave him alone lol

It’s an old interview from Peach Jam week. He was still going with the preprogrammed replies. You can tell because he doesn’t mention the new schools.

Im glad we got Bliss and i believe he’ll do a great job but i sure liked Perry a lot.

Based off when coaches left and when recruiting fell off it would have to have been McKay. IIRC the only 2016 to commit after Ritchie left was Dre. Then the drop off happened before Sanchez left

Finally. What I thought was going to be our #1 guard target in 2025.

Love the Jackson Keith offer! Southern has built a really great program in recent years and just had Ricky Council IV get picked up by the 76ers on a two-way contract.

Now that he’s got the offer, hoping to catch a few games since he’s local.

There’s the 5 star we chase at the beginning of the cycle that we dont land. Rarely do we offer a kid a day or two after Duke has already offered.

Our only shot with Haralson or Bryson Tiller (the other bonafide 5 star we offered) is if Dunn blows up and goes lottery and we pitch them the starting 4 spot in the spring as a late reclass decision. (as opposed to the current situation if Dunn goes pro of taking someone like Hodge but then bringing in another grad transfer or a stud to start at the 4)

If we get Kon and then Jackson Keith, added to Bliss and a healthy Gertrude aww man we are in scary hours territory
