July 5, 200719 yr Interesting stance... http://community.foxsports.com/blogs/goodmanonfox/2007/07/03/GILLESPIE_GETTING_OUT_OF_HAND_IN_LEXINGTON
July 5, 200719 yr He makes some valid points. With only 13 spots on a roster it's playing with fire to recruit that far out if you don't have to...
July 5, 200719 yr It is risk versus reward on this one. The risk is getting a decent player that does not develop into a star versus the reward of getting a potential star before the other colleges get their hooks into them. I personally would like to see a player at the junior class before getting a verbal.

July 5, 200719 yr :thumb: :thumb: 2010 verbals are a little redilclious IMO. While waiting to pick up my niece from 1st grade a few months back, there was another 1st grader on the playground with a MEAN crossover, get them early. :lol: I agree, there was another story here on this board about a 7th grader that already committed or something. Just ridiculous.
July 5, 200719 yr Kevin Love committed to UCLA his 8th grade year and he turned out pretty well...Dakotah Euton also had offers from Florida an Duke so we weren't the only ones who saw something in him... Let's just let everything take its course before we make such statements.
July 5, 200719 yr Kevin Love committed to UCLA his 8th grade year and he turned out pretty well... Love didn't verbal until last summer...

Let's just let everything take its course before we make such statements. Exactly. We have people hyping these kids up to be the greatest thing since bud light. And it could very easily be hit or miss when you go after kids that young.
July 6, 200719 yr I love how Billy Clyde is going after things aggresivly but I have to agree with this article............to a point. Imo in today's recruiting wars you have to do some of the "future" recruiting but I can also see where it would get you in a bind. I will however trust in that Billy Clyde knows what he is doing. At least a lot more than anyone of us on here. He had better :eek:
July 6, 200719 yr Exactly. We have people hyping these kids up to be the greatest thing since bud light. And it could very easily be hit or miss when you go after kids that young. How about the greatest thing since bottled water, not EVERYTHING has to be related to alcohol. :lol:
July 6, 200719 yr I do find it interesting that a guy anonymously writing on a blog has more knowledge of who can play and who can't than a D1 head coach.

July 6, 200719 yr I've made this point, regarding UK fans for a long time. Some think they know more, than the coaches do. What? :eek: :eek: :eek:
July 6, 200719 yr I see nothing wrong with taking verbal committments from young guys. What does it hurt?
July 6, 200719 yr Well, would you rather have Tubby, who was not aggresive enough, or Billy G, who is very aggresive. I see nothing wrong with his style of recruiting.
