I would rather land the guys that we've been landing than be *really* competing with UK, Duke, KU, Zona, etc. Give me De'ron Davis and Thomas Bryant and Curtis Jones and OG Anunoby all day, everyday, and 17 times on Sunday if it means it's done the right way.

Good article.

Agreed we just need to have a few more years of success so that when we come recruiting a solid 4 star they jump at the chance. The way the kids that want a pay day go to Arizona or Kentucky.

Dan Dakich went off on Jeremy Russotti, the guy behind Prolific Prep.

THIS DAKICH SOUNDCLOUD LINK IS REQUIRED LISTENING! 

I feel sorry for Scruggs and his family.

I don't feel sorry for Prolific Prep "Blah bla blah" Russotti, who has now been destroyed by Dakich.

Whenever has his story actually been accurate? I'm guessing not too often.

It's not even close to the whole story. Albers being Albers needs to be like trademarked or something. 

For instance, yesterday...

I'm definitely not one that yells "racism!" all the time, but the hits Cam took last night would never go unpunished if it was a white QB.

I mean he didn't even let him speak lol I normally like Dakich but there wasn't anything "manly" about talking over someone for 6 minutes "because it's my show."

Is there?

No one said it was gonna be a fair fight!

Dakich even told the guy up front that he was gonna cut his mic whenever he felt like it. The dumbass stayed on anyway.

[hoosierpap 14,300]

And I hate to be the contrarian all the time (at some point I realize you guys are going to hate me for this reason lol) but Dakich sounds like a guy stuck in the mid 90's. Mr. Basketball in the state of Indiana isn't what it was. I get it means a lot to him, but it doesn't mean as much to Scruggs and his family...or any of these kids and their families. 

I guess you can yell and scream about how you wish and want things to be, but, at the very least, understand that doesn't make it a reality.

No, but in Dakich's defense the pro prep coach sounded like he was going to debate like a 3rd grader from the beginning of the segment.

I agree with you for the most part. Unfortunately Mr. Basketball isn't what it used to be nor is high school basketball but Dakich is still right. Prolific prep is a joke. Scruggs will never get his senior year back. IMO he and his family are getting played by a bunch of adults.

Played by who?

[Stuhoo 82,017]

Played by who?

By A glorified AAU coach pretending to run a school who is getting paid big time by a shoe company

I guess I thought he was implying that Pro Prep went after him, which is not the case. Scruggs fell in their lap. So hate prep schools, I get that, but they didn't start the process with Scruggs like it seems to be implied. 

[Stuhoo 82,017]

Scruggs is buddies with Trent; true that.

Agree with Stu. Pro prep may not have started it but I'm sure they are happy to manipulate the situation and take him for a ride. Whole situation is a bad deal IMO.

Doesn't appear Scruggs is headed our way but he apparently isn't headed to Illinois either.  Albers reporting he's cancelled his Illinois visit.

Why do I have a strange feeling that we miss on Waters and end up with the Scruggs/Wilkes combo?

Idk but I could live with that. I'm not sure we are in position to take 5 in early period. I Feel like 5 will have to be a spring commit.

Agree we're not in a position, but I'm confident we would, and figure it out later.

I'd be completely satisfied with that.

[Brass Cannon 24,951]

Does seem like they have made a decision together. Cancelling visits at the same time. 

Scruggs as a back up plan. What are we some sort of blue blood?
