Hugely important class replacing Crutcher, Watson, Chatman and Tshimanga, and tons of minutes to advertise with very few of the 2021-22 minutes spoken for. Coming off a mammoth season that saw tons of on-the-court success, lots of press and the national POY and COY, and they have nothing to show for it. And outside Malachi Smith (himself a legacy) not in especially great position for any big name players.
I like that the staff works slowly and clearly does serious homework on recruits' makeup and families, but you'd think the Obi spot would generate some massive interest from top-100 players. You'd think the Scoochie-Crutcher role would also be pretty attractive.
Love Grant, ecstatic with the program right now, but I'm hoping we can start cashing in soon. Would love to see Malachi on board soon, followed by some size.

I don't think any program suffered more than Dayton with Covid. Absolutely killed recruiting and tournament exposure and a possible NC.
