Since then, Anthony Grant has offered several more for 2018 and so far is being aggressive offering 4 star athletes for 2019!
Don Donoher and Archie Miller had the ability to take average players and make them better in each of their four years. The three coaches in between (Jim O'Brien, Oliver Purnell and Brian Gregory) not so much!
I am happy that Anthony Grant is being more aggressive because it proves that he believes that UD is in play for them instead of settling.

Juwan Staten was a 4 star player out of high school that Dayton landed.
Matt Derenbecker and Jordan Sibert were 4 star players out of high school that Dayton successfully recruited when they opted to transfer.
Luke Kennard (Duke), Jordan Tucker (headed to Duke this year), Aaron Craft (Ohio State), AJ Harris (Ohio State), and many many more 4 star players have been offered by Dayton coaches as well. I could come up with many more if I thought about it.
