However, I trust in this coaching staff. They are experts in talent evaluation and fit. They see this kid's potentials AND Ben has had a great spring/summer.
Given the sheer numbers of guards we offered, I'd wait a bit to see what transpires. As a top 200+ kid he'll still be around come November. However, it is what it is!
Trust the process, trust the process, trust the process, I do.

The Rivals guys say to expect Shtolzberg to get a massive boost into the Top 150 on their next update.
Our recruiting has been ratcheted up several levels these last few years. Guys who are/were higher on the list (236) are currently walkons in the program.
The coaches know their jobs, It just comes off as unusual, given our current levels of recruiting.
Mel, Mel. Mitch and Marcus were top 100 recruits and Damien Top 150. But, I get your intended message.

GTMO, I get your sentiments. However, not all guys on team should be top 100 guys. I view this guy as a great team player, practice player, guy who will be trusted, in the tradition of Tyler Clement. You need guys like that on a Mac team.
