What happens if they take a look at our record this year and decide to de-commit?
I would have serious second thoughts about sending my kid to play basketball there right now.
Engineering school? Sure. Basketball? Not so sure
Fortunately these kids (and their parents) have more basketball intelligence and foresight than you do. Not to mention loyalty.
Also, our current record is not indicative of whether or not we are a "basketball school".
There is no question I would want my kid to play for Boynton. And if you cannot see what he is building and what the future of this program holds, then I feel sorry for you.
No, the incoming recruiting class wont "save us" by themselves. But college basketball is won through a combination of young talent and experienced upperclassmen and that is exactly what we will have next year. Lead by a great coach and motivator/leader of young men. The future of this program is incredibly bright.
I cannot wait to see Watson, the Boone Twins, and AAIII team up and learn from the guys we currently have on the roster. They all fill holes, provide depth, and add amazing athleticism to compliment the leadership we will have in the likes of Waters, Cam and Dziagwa and the continued maturation of guys like Isaac and Yor.
Not to mention, if Isaiah Todd reclassifies and commits to us, this team will add another element we have not seen here in a long time.
Please, feel free to jump ship on the basketball program any time you'd like. Clearly, you are having second thoughts about where the program is heading. I promise, it will get there without you.
