Cigs!
So we don’t suck again! Damn. Forbes pulled this off.
Is it just 2 left in question?
I think so. Holding spots for Williamson and LaRavia.
Klintman gives the Deacs the big wing they lost with Mucius and probably Laravia. If he works on defense he would also fit into a big lineup on defense that Forbes liked to employ last year. The staff found and secured the missing piece to next year's team. Five players 6'9" or larger.
So many doubters, it got embarrassing. In Forbes we trust.
we have enough players to field a competitive team now, but while i’m cautiously optimistic i don’t think it’s a given we don’t suck. as mentioned, the pedigree of the incoming players don’t match up to last years group.
Targeted or got?
I don’t understand this. As I recall, The only players that people seemed excited about were Laravia and Monsanto (both sophomores btw). The Alondes recruitment was literally ridiculed and people seemed to think Dallas was good for 10 minutes a game because of his 75 year old knees. It looks to me like people are rewriting history wrt to the 2021 transfer class because they greatly exceeded expectations.
imo your post is also a bit of revisionist history (downplaying the excitement of last years bunch) but it’s ultimately not really relevant as we can objectively compare the track record of the players brought in as OGB did a couple pages ago.
but your last point is also a good one, last years group greatly exceeded expectations which i don’t think we can’t expect to happen again, which should also temper expectations going into next year.
