Gotta love this board. A recap: we sign Cooper. There is much rejoicing. Porter is the best recruiter we have had since Tubbs. Best high school recruiting since Medieval Times. Cooper doesn’t play a meaningful minute all season till the conference tourney. I beg for the kid to play. The board: hey, just because he was highly rated doesn’t mean he is good enough to play. Moser sees them every day in practice. He would play him if he was good enough to merit playing time. And yet now, you’re suggesting I’m the one who will downplay the talent of a highly rated recruit.
No doubt if this kid ends up sitting the bench, the cycle will repeat and you guys will say that high school rankings don’t necessarily mean a kid is any good.
In any event, it’s all academic. Our new coach will have to replace the entire roster in the spring and summer, unless any of the recruits or returning players decide to stay and play for someone who wasn’t involved in their recruitment.
