Where did you get that from? I'm pretty much the opposite...I'm a star watching/top 150 guy all the way. I've been following recruiting since the 80's. I even lined Van Coleman's pockets subscribing to his newsletter back in the day.

Cleanthony Early is an extremely rare occurrence in college basketball. He already an NBA-ready body coming in and was able to really showcase his abilities at a mid-major school. He and Wichita State were a match made in heaven.
This Malik Allen or whatever is probably barely 6 feet tall, probably takes a lot of shots, and probably turns the ball over a lot. Undersized, underskilled, but not under controlled. I understand we need bodies on the practice squad, but I'd be hesitant to throw a schollie at the kid. We don't really need a < 6'0'' guard on this team unless he's the second coming of Tyrus McGee (and I'd wager to believe this Malik kid is closer to KJ Bluford).

Only other major program to offer is Mizzou. Signing him, to me, would just mean Fred wants a guy for the practice squad, maybe play as much as SDW did this year. In my mind, we've already got the same player in Kourtlin Jackson (and I'm not basing it off their looks)

I'd say this is arguable; you wouldn't be guaranteed to win, but it would be highly probable.
Yeah obviously it would be extremely unlikely. Essentially guaranteed. But not 100%.
I think you're right in that we probably won't target any new HS recruits. But if they're guys we were originally targets and they re-open their recruitment, why wouldn't we take a shot?
I am of the opinion that there were weren't any other real "targets" besides Vaughn and the plan was always see what Vaughn does, if he comes, go get some transfers, if he doesn't come, go get some transfers. Stick with the gameplan.
I know you are, which is why I am giving you are hard time about the Early comment. It is the same thing- we only know Early was that good in hindsight. On average pedigree matters.

Remember before the Bluford and Gibson transfers there was only one scholarship available for a HS (excluding Custer who a top target of CFH and fills a need at Backup PG). The only type of player next years team is "missing" is a slashing rim finishing 2 guard (ala Kane) who can start right a way. Basically Vaughn for HS players available or a 5th year transfer type such as Bryce Djean-Jones. No sense in getting a commitment from a fringe 150 player to develop especially with Fred already having a player like that in SDW entering his third year at that time.
I have never played D&D. Not sure I have actually ever rolled a 20 sided die either.
I have played scategories if that counts.
I will just leave this here:

Fred recruited Early so I knew he was probably pretty good. He's definitely an outlier from a DIII sense.
Yes, that I agree with. The coaches recruiting a guy is the most important aspect, although I doubt any recruiting service is going to keep a guy a two star if guys like Self, Izzo, Coack K are offering.
I'm interested to see who the staff goes after the hardest this spring and summer. I imagine with recruiting opening back up we will find out who are the top targets pretty fast
Read the Potential Transfers and Bryce Desean-Jones threads. You're looking at our target list there.
Redshirt transfers (see other thread) and the yet to be created 2015 5th year transfer thread.
Only half joking, as 2015 will depend on what we do with these three.
