I’m going on record right now... the staff is downright foolish if it’s banking on a commitment from this immature kid. I really think they better start offering some other point guards. I think this will have an ugly ending if we don’t secure another really good guard. He may also not even be eligible academically.

There is just no way this kid was ever going to reclassify as well, lol. He won’t have enough academic progress for college, IMO. Like Dean has said, LBJ and his network will get this kid a sweet GLeague deal. I don’t see how it plays out otherwise.

If we never land Dior, doesn’t that weaken our chances with the other elite players we’re recruiting? Let’s face it, most of them liked the idea of playing WITH him. Losing Dior could mean losing Westry, Cruz, Gayle, and more. We really need another quick elite commitment (4 star or up) to negate the skepticism right now.

When they move on from Dior will other top recruits fade into the sunset as well?

When they move on from Dior will other top recruits fade into the sunset as well? It’s a legitimate question... Will those other elite guys still want to come in Dior’s absence? My guess is they probably won’t unless we can get a commitment from another elite guy soon to keep the momentum and interest level high. Can Benny, as a now 5 star guy, recruit for us? We also need to play much better basketball this season, and knock off a few big boys. That’ll help... to get back to being solidly in the top 20 again. I’m not sure we’ll be good enough this year, but I do think we’ll improve. We had a lot of close losses last season that can be wins this season with a more experienced backcourt.

No surprise here... never believed he was coming in the first place. Of course it’s made tougher because we may now lose Roddy Gayle too.

Oh man this sucks. I guess we all knew... he was never coming here. Hope the timing means we’re pressing really hard on Gayle cuz he’s an Ohio St lean now.

Most of us on this board except for a few orange-goggled folks knew this was just a matter of time. Unfortunately it looks like we blew it with Gayle and Starling too. Gayle was courted by Ohio St. apparently earlier than SU got in with him. We’ll see what happens. Dior NEVER was going to go to college so can’t really fault GMac but they have been late to the party getting in early enough with some nice recruits.

I'm shocked I tell you, shocked...not. That's why I always had that title of this thread with his name on it.
Another blunder by our boy GMac who stinks as a lead recruiter. This is going to cost us IMHO with other top kids that we could have been recruiting and not wasted time on this kid.
