Any insinuation that mgoblog’s basketball coverage or community is at a higher level in any way shape or form than the ones at UMhoops is as misguided as the following totally random, not at all related takes:
Devin Booker - the definition of a one dimensional, non-athletic player. Trevon Bluiett lacks athleticism, but he is infinitely better at creating his own shot off the bounce, and he has great footwork. Booker was so overrated it isn’t funny, I’d be shocked if he lived up to his billing as a 5 star.
Matt D. That is recruiting. If Cassius Winston decides to commit to Michigan tomm, then Michigan takes Winston, Thorton losses his potential spot. Thorton had a chance to chose UM. It happens every year with every team. Were you not aware of this?
Your correct, it is very elementary. Coleman set up his visit… Two weeks too late. We offered multiple players at his position, Robinson included. DR wanted UM right away.
Again, you haven’t answered my question. How is it so that Coleman didn’t have a chance to choose UM? He took multiple unofficals during the season (not to UM), he had plenty of time to commit. Your stance is very much of a hurt fan of a particular recruit.
And if you really think I take the stance of “let’s not question the staff”, Can I not turn it right back on you and say, how can you question a staff that has been so successful?
Bottom line. Coleman had over a year to commit, we offered 2-3 others at his spot after sensing JC was going to drag it out a bit more. DR dropped. It will happen again, promise.
The staff chose Robinson over Coleman exclusively…has nothing to do with position, just preference of the staff, which effectively implies the staff made the decision for Coleman rather than Coleman taking too long. Long story short, if Robinson doesn’t come along, we wait it out for Coleman…so this whole Coleman had his chance argument is lacking, the staff simply liked Robinson better, and that’s fine. I don’t agree with that assessment, and I’m sure many others feel the same, but let’s call it how it is rather than how we may want it to be.
