The reason beyond just being interested about who was highly recruited and who wasn't is this. I could be wrong on this but as far as I know, Edwin Eubiles was the most highly recruited Siena Saint ever.
And though I could be wrong on this as well, I believe guys like Kenny Hasbrouck and Ronald Moore and even Alex Franklin were lightly recruited, if at all?
I believe the four current seniors were also lightly recruited, if recruited at all?
Yes, Jimmy has his issues, especially with game time coaching decisions, and beyond Nico, as far as I know has not had any type of high recruits come in.
But that being said, if he win's the MAAC regular season title this year, which is a real possibility, and wins the tournament, you have to say, overall without having high recruits coming out of high school, that he has done a good job in developing players to date, and that it might be better to stick with him than to move beyond him?
Ubilies was highly recruited.. Kenny Hasbrouck was not-- Ronald Moore was between us and Vermont. , Alex Franklin was a b level recruit for LaSalle. Fran was a master at signing kids early before they had big senior seasons. This years 4 seniors were all legitimate D1 prospects. Quis and Lavon were legit mid major recruits; JO and Brett were legit also
To compare next seasons incoming freshmen to this year's senior class ( as far as recruiting goes) is not a good comparison. Recruit rankings are far from perfect- but they are right far more often than wrong. Plus you add in Jimmy has not recruited a single under the radar type kid here at Siena that has worked out- doesn’t mean they cant- just not likely looking at his history. Listen he wasnt that good a recruiter at Loyola- people wrote it off because it was tough to get into Loyola- the difference is at Loyola he got 1 or 2 impact transfers a year- kids wanting to come home to Baltimore . Of course that hasn’t happened here at Siena
As for winning the MAAC this year- I dont want to hurt anyone's feelings, just being honest ..possible but highly unlikely
