September brings more Fun, Angst and Trepidation
September Recruiting begins a high point for many kids who haven't committed during this month.
For a school like UK who has no commitments these visits MUST produce some commitments soon or the talent pool at UK will suffer even more.
Many of the players Tubby is recruiting now are barely High d-1 level. What do I mean by that you ask. Well, lets look at football.
Isnt there a disparaging difference between, say Texas and North Texas? Georgia and Western Ky?
The same thing is prevalent in college basketball although because of the 13 scholarship rule... that disparity is narrowing.
If you take say.. the top 25... and say they get 2-3 player in the top 100... that removes 50-75 players. The next bunch of schools (the mid majors as they are called)... get their players from the 100-200 area. There are some good players here and each year the pool at this area is different. In 2004 for example... Tyler Hansbrough's class was good at the top but 75-100 were weak... they wouldnt even have been near the 130 area last year... This year is very similar to last year. the kids in the 100-150 range can play High D-1 but they arent as good as say the top 25.
