Danny is desperate. There's no question about it. I'd guess he's made offers knowing he had no shot to make it look like he was being serious.
I was responding to your copying his.

I agree that our current recruiting is unacceptable but who have we ever gotten over Duke? Anyone besides Aminu over UNC?

who have we gotten over Duke in the last 30 years?
They didn't recruit Rogers or Paul
First you said Duke and UNC and now it’s just Duke. But either way the fact that we don’t compete with those school for recruits is part of the problem. They are supposed to be our rivals, not some unattainable standard of eliteness.
By way of comparison, HOF Wes has offered 13 guys for 3 open 2020 spots. For the following 2 years, he's made only one offer for 4 or 8 spots (depending on the year). Let's hope he's at least making contacts that may bear fruit later.
Wes eats sleeps and breathes hoops. 1am in July the guy is on YouTube watching Euros to find sleepers. He has contacts across the game. Danny made 50 million in the NBA. He’s taking a nap while Wes is in ransoms high school gyms talking up coaches.
99% of posters here would have been upset if Wellman had fired Manning only to replace him with Mike Young. VT just picked up a commitment from a second 2020 Top 100 kid, Darius Maddox. Young had the good sense to bring on board 2 new assistants with good recruiting chops. I'm not giving Manning a pass on anything but we are seeing now how much losing Jones as a recruiter continues to hurt the program. Maybe Walters can make up some of the lost time and ground - I'm skeptical.

Walters is the guy who has been offering most of the unranked kids. Randolph is the best recruiter of them all, including Manning.
