Because they're foolish in their approach to recruiting, they do this literally every single class & it always backfires on them like clockwork lol.
Putting all their eggs in one basket has been a staple of Diaz's style of recruiting since he got here, the Defensive staff is always chasing after unattainable prospects while losing contact & neglecting the more viable option only to get played by the high ranked 5-star, then they're left scrambling trying to reconnect with the more realistic prospect & that player usually tells them to kick rocks too.
Look bruh, I'm not happy we're not getting him, I'm just saying most of anybody who knows anything about recruiting saw this sh*t from a mile away & knew this kid wasn't coming, that's why myself & others were so puzzled & ****ed that the staff wasn't going harder after Hyppolite because our chances with him are 10,000x better than with getting a pipe dream like Flowe.
Yall just need to stop being so **** gullible all the time & pay attention to how this sh*t works, you'll rarely be fooled if you simply learn to look at the trends & tendencies of how we recruit whenever it comes to players of this caliber. This sh*t really ain't that difficult to figure out.
