There is the same story....RU offers 30 kids....2 to 3 can actually fit onto the roster with 2 spots available.....28 other kids with offers, go elsewhere, we see the same story of "RU can't recruit" 28 times.....RU lands 2 players and those 2 player are "not enough".
Dixon was much further down on Nova's list, they just recently offered, knowing he begged/wanted/preferred to be at Nova....the recruitment was over, once the offer was made.....not a knock against the kid or player, but it's all about perception.....Nova has it rolling right now, so it's difficult to argue that the player isn't elite or capable of playing anywhere, but it would be the equivalent of a Top 5 program landing a Top 175 player.........My knock is he's a bull in a china shop right now and needs to expand his face up game outside of 10 feet, to be an immediate impact recruit....like most recruits, he will take a bit to get started, but Nova isn't losing sleep over this recruit....The 2018 recruits signed are the elite difference makers here.
RU needs a Small Forward....once that happens, then other pieces will fall into place....until that gap is closed, it's really arguing apples and oranges about other spots.
