I understand the concern, but keep in mind UNCW has only been recruiting these kids for a few weeks. McGrath admitted he wasn't able to recruit very much in-season. It's understandable that these kids are taking their times with making a decision.

Why was he and/or his assistants not able to recruit much? Does seem really odd that we are just being connected within the last month or so to our top targets.

He stated in a podcast that with the team needing so much work this year, he felt as if he couldn't miss a day of practice and risk the team taking a step back. Also, the two targets we have are in Colorado and Kansas, so I would imagine they weren't on the radar at the time either. Robinson and Braun have both picked up a lot of interest from teams as of late. In the case of Channel Banks, this hurt us because he pretty much already had two teams in mind when we came into the picture.
