Look at the kids we offered last year at the PG position, they're not local kids besides Moore who was from Chicago and Jackson who was junior college so he wouldn't have seen him play.

Well considering that Conner was at some top camps with some of those guys, you would be wrong.

He played off the ball in that camp actually, I remember seeing it on Twitter. If Fran couldn't get a PG to come in because of his combo guard son than he failed, simple as that
Who's on that roster that we offered last year? I don't think I saw a single name

So you were wrong, some of the top guys we offered have not only seen him play, they have played with him or against him.
Who has played with him or against him? Moore maybe? Everyone else was either east coast, west coast or JUCO

Link? I would love to see those tweets. Also, if you believe them, then you just aren't paying attention. If they wanted Connor to play off the ball, he would be doing it now while Devontae Lane is on his HS team. Plus, what do you think the other coaches are telling those recruits? Have you ever went to an AAU tourney or a camp? It will open your eyes.
Now, am I blaming all of this on Fran not getting a PG? Nope. He needs to do a better job of selling his program to recruits at the PG position (which Fran played). I will agree that he has had his limitations doing that. But, to say that his kid coming here who plays that position is not a factor at all is also not true IMO.

I am mobile and maybe missed your point. Connor played with Malik Williams and others at this camp. I feel you are talking only PG recruits, you are wrong as well. Jordan Bohannon saw Conner play a TON.
Jordan committed the second we offered. I am only talking about PG recruits.

Martin Brothers (Bohannon's team) and the Barnstormers (Connor's team) play all over the country.
Does Lane play off the ball? He was quite a few more assists than Connor

So he was a PG recruit for Iowa then.....I already knew that.
Yeah, the 9th one we offered after Fran went 0-8 because he "couldn't overcome his combo guard son coming in the following year". Haha can't make this stuff up

So you were wrong about guys we offered not seeing Connor play. Like I said, I already knew that.
Pete was a big time fallback as well. Was that a "recruiting fail?"
I doubt most of them saw Connor play. None of them were at that camp you posted. Pete was like #3 on our list wasn't he? Definitely not #9.

That isn't what you said. Just own it, you were dumb and said something dumb and it was proven you were dumb and said something dumb.
What was proven to me that I am dumb? The only thing you posted as a list of players and none of them were the ones we missed out on.

You know we offered Jordan, you know we signed Jordan. This was stupid to say, because you know those things.
