I'm having a tough time wrapping my mind around us having a head basketball coach who is able to get his foot in the door of big time recruits. Thornwell and Stoman are major recruits and if Martin is also able to land Dozier in the future, I'll have to totally rethink my position as an eternally pessimistic basketball fan. The thing is, I fear Dozier is going to fall into the same pattern that nearly every big recruit from Spring Valley takes which will lead him north to Chapel Hill. Dawn Staley's team would be sitting pretty (er) right now if X-Man's daughter hadn't jumped to North Carolina. I don't know if Asia Dozier belongs to Terry or Perry, but her decision to play for Dawn Staley has to bode well for us being able to get PJ, right?
The thing that still seems to be eluding us is a major big man. I know they are rare, and it's hard to beat out the perennial top schools for these guys - Kentucky, Florida, Kansas, UNC, Duke, Syracuse, etc... If Martin can steal one of these guys, we can compete for the top of the SEC. It's been a while since anyone has suggested that.
