Basketball recruiting under Brad (a.k.a. swing and a miss)

Here are the top basketball recruits in SC since Brad has been head coach here. These are guys in our backyard that did not want to play for Brad (or in some cases he did not even recruit them). The old saying fits our basketball program...... "You can't win the Kentucky Derby unless you are on a thoroughbred".
rank / name / position / year / high school / college 4. Khris Middleton PF 2013 Porter-Gaud (Charleston) Texas A&M 12. Ja Morant PG 2020 Crestwood (Sumter) NBA 14. Trevor Booker PF 2011 Union County (Union) Clemson 15. Zion Williamson PF 2020 Spartanburg (Spartanburg) Duke 22. Devin Booker (1991) PF 2014 Union County (Union) Clemson 24. Torrey Craig SF 2018 Great Falls (Great Falls) USC Upstate 28. P.J. Dozier PG 2018 Spring Valley (Columbia) Coot U 39. Sam Muldrow PF 2012 Wilson (Florence) Coot U 41. Aaron Nesmith SF 2021 Porter-Gaud (Charleston) Vanderbilt 45. Jared Wilson-Frame SG 2020 Believe Prep (Rock Hill) Pitt 46. James Webb SF 2018 Oaks Virtual (Hilton Head) Boise State 51. Nicolas Claxton PF 2020 Legacy Charter (Greenville) Georgia 55. Brice Johnson PF 2017 Edisto (Cordova) UNC 57. L.J. Peak SG 2018 Gaffney (Gaffney) Georgetown 61. D'Montre Edwards SG 2015 West Ashley (Charleston) Tennessee 63. MiKyle McIntosh SF 2019 22ft Basketball Academy (Greenville) Illinois State 71. Jordan Bowden SG 2021 22ft Basketball Academy (Greenville) Tennessee 73. Tre'Darius McCallum SF 2019 St. James (Murrells Inlet) Depaul 74. Brendon Knox C 2011 Georgetown (Georgetown) Auburn 75. Lydell Elmore SF 2022 Branchville (Branchville) High Point 76. Malik Dunbar SF 2020 Spring Valley (Columbia) Auburn 77. Evrik Gary PG 2015 Camden (Camden) Francis Marion 5* Josiah-Jordan James G 2019 Porter Gaud (Charleston) Tennessee
Here is the link I used https://ainsworthsports.com/basketball_player_rankings_by_high_school_sc.htm
Sadly a lot of thoroughbreds don't want to play for Brad. Of the 23 recruits on this list Brad got 2 of them.

Most of those guys were never factors but one kid from South Carolina was and his name is PJ Hall.

Why did you list NBA for Morant? He went to Murray St.

I like our incoming class and what we have returning. We could use someone to help Ian though next season.

What facts did he spit? Google a list of random players and try to blame our coach because we did not land all of them? Seems about right for the LF. I guess the misguided attacks on our coach will increase as the success of this year's team must be weighing heavily.

Brad didn't sign either one of the Bookers. They signed under Purnell. Trevor didn't even play for Brownell.

Same reason nobody wants to play for Syracuse in football.
We have no tradition.

Need to fact check your statement. Syracuse has plenty of tradition.
Only six schools have placed more individuals in the NFL Hall of Fame than Syracuse, which has eight. That list includes Jim Brown, Larry Csonka, Al Davis, Marvin Harrison, Floyd Little, John Mackey, Art Monk and Jim Ringo.

Alabama isn’t historically known for basketball tradition, with only 1 elite 8 appearance (sound familiar?). Look how they’re doing now ever since they got rid of their bum head coach and hired someone who got them to where they are today.

He hasn’t played in the pros. Look at the website to see how they are ranking.
