We're probably done with HS guys in recruiting, at least any new HS guys. There's still 5-6 guys out there that we're after and would take their commitment. We are going to recruit JUCO and portal the rest of the way. Nothing wrong with that in doses. Unfortunately with the situation we are in, we have to go that route for the next year. Right now, we need guys that can play and contribute next year. And I'll be honest, some of these JUCO guys (Hardy, Mitchell, Coleman, Odera) would play and probably start for us this year. Those guys are good. I mean South Carolina placed Hardy in JUCO and Mitchell was at Bama last year. Coleman was just a slipped through the cracks guy.

I am not in any way saying that is a sustainable formula. It wasn't in the old days and it is certainly not in this new age. However, there's still talent to be found at the JUCO level. Now, will you be finding the next Montez Sweat? Probably not. But you can still find some solid depth guys and even a starter, if it's a guy like Hardy.

On the portal, that picture will become REALLY CLEAR in the next 10 days. I would not be surprised if we had some portal visitors this weekend unofficially visit.
