General Motors analogy to recruiting

Unread post by Ramulous »

GM makes three levels of cars....Chevrolet is the base brand....Buick the middle brand.....Cadillac the top of the line.

In recruiting our recruits might be Buicks compared to the major schools....we start out chasing kids who turn out to be Cadillacs and tend to be smitten with the bigger schools....we then turn our attention to the Buicks...and then to the Chevies if the Buicks go elsewhere...

I was talking to two friar fans today and told them that I think the friars were chasing the Cadillacs too long and ardently and have missed some of the Buicks who have already committed elsewhere....if they miss on their last Cadillac they may have to look at the Chevies at this late date...

...Hurley looks wise in getting three good Buicks and maybe an entry level Cadillac (Layssard)

Not sure about Tertsea, but the other 3 could end up being Cadillacs.....

Don't sleep on Tertsea... like Langevine he's still in his basketball development stage, just not quite as polished yet.

Absolutely. He has a huge upside potential. Very athletic and excellent timing.
This entire class is solid, no weak links at all.

Tertsea will require the most development, offensively, fundamentally, etc but with a 7'4" wing span and athletic build he is a worthwhile risk.
Layssard will prob be most game ready from Day 1 - Langevine somewhere in the middle.

It will be interesting to see how Layssard steps up to the competition. Tertsea plays high level of competition and his team looks to him for rebounding, shot blocking and defense. Bottom line is they all believe they will be in the starting line up one day and the competition for playing time at URI has not seen this level since the Harrick days. Great time to be a Rhody B-Ball fan.
