I didn't see the news until around 6 tonight. The funny part is I was told about it by a Duke fan (friend of mine) while we were on the phone together. I haven't been on much lately due to the baby so, no, it's got nothing to do with anything else.
my post about our recruiting taking a "slight dip" was accurate. Cal has lost way more recruits in his last 4 years than his first 4. I mean, it's not a stretch to think that. The class with Zimmerman we got hammered for example.
My main point behind saying what I did was really about top 5 kids. I feel because our teams are so young we have to have one of two things happen. Either A - we need to land two top 5 studs in each class (like '12 for example) or B - we need a 10-20 guy be severely underrated. I felt Cal has had trouble landing multiple top 5 guys of late, whereas early on he was hitting that clip moreso than now.
So no, I don't think I was wrong just because Knox committed, but I will say this - if Cal had lost some mojo, it's creeping back up. I don't believe I said K had overtaken his recruiting belt, just that K had as good of a chance as Cal at landing them now, and arguably had been landing them a bit easier of late.
Duke has hit a small wall becasue of Allen and their issues last season / lies from coach K catching up. Everyone has been wondering how Duke is still landing OAD's after their issues, and I think this shows K is losing some mojo from the '15 title. If we get Bamba and Duval goes elsewhere that would pretty much verify it.
Hope this helps. If not throw it out.
