Recruits
Been following some of the recruits on Flames Nation via Facebook. We are going after some real quality athletes, recruiting against a number of FBS schools. I hope the interest is mutual. It seems Coach Gill is charging hard. I like that.

I haven't heard much about basketball recruiting since the hire of McKay. It's so soon, there may be nothing happening yet.

I did see we are going after combo guard Anthony Eaves from Louisville Ballard HS. I hope we land him and he turns out to be a good one. His dad Jerry was the starting PG on some great Louisville teams including the 80' National Champs, played in the NBA and was a D1 head coach. Hopefully some of those basketball skills and smarts rubbed off on Anthony. He's already got a hand full of offers..... but we're one of'em!

RE: Recruits
Yeah, we are chasing some point guards right now. We have several being discussed on FlameFans. Keep in mind that we didn't have any scholies to hand out outside of attrition.

RE: Recruits
That's great! No scholarships to hand out unless someone leaves. I don't know who would leave since they likely wouldn't get a scholarship from any other program. Layer still trolling us. It's just comical at this point.

RE: Recruits
Scholarships are renewed annually. Sadly, some kids will be losing theirs this year whether they want to or not. The new staff doesn't have the investment in the kids that the prior staff had bringing them to campus. You guys have seen what attrition looks like the past few seasons. I would expect similar turnover the next few weeks.

RE: Recruits
Well in that case we can practically start over. For the sake of the kids I hope none involuntarily lose their scholarship but we need fresh blood and talent to come in. Hopefully some choose to leave and find something elsewhere.

RE: Recruits
The way it works is typically the scholarship isn't pulled, but McKay will say "you don't fit or system and your likely not to get any playing time. If you like I can help you find s place you may be able to play". It's a clear message without using the we're not renewing your scholli.

RE: Recruits
GE to your point, not many d-1 caliber players are currently on the roster. It's going to take 3-4 years to get this train wreck cleaned up.

Hopefully it won't take 3-4 years to right the ship. Let's hope McKay lands a well known high recruit who others know about that would like to play with. Other than some hidden gem that falls through the cracks, it could take easily 2+ years before we are even able to challenge in the BSC, much less make it to March Madness.
