Big Daddy wrote ...3) Damien Lee is the #1 target and they do have a commitment for a visit in early May, just not a date. They know exactly when he is visiting the other schools and like that they are the last one to be visited. There is a relationship between DL and one of the staff and there is mutual interest and communication. They expect that Lee will come for a visit..did not seem to be too concerned that he will commit before visiting.4) Miller is #2 target and again there is mutual interest, but I got the impression that they actually feel better about Lee than Miller.I'm not concerned that we lost DL. I'm concerned how we lost him. It is apparent that we were never really an option for him. He did not come for a visit. We were probably his safety school.What is concerning is what BD said above. The coaching staff had as their #1 target someone that wasn't a realistic option. They were not concerned about him committing before he visits when they should have been concerned about exactly that. Had he visited, considered and then picked something else it would have been better than what actually happened. At least if he visited we were a serious option and not a safety school.Similarly option #2 (Miller) was someone that was also not a realistic option. Again we were merely a safety school and the coaching staff thought we were more than that.Should we be concerned that the coaching staff is having a hard time gauging interest? If so, does this matter? Tell me where I'm wrong.
Maybe he just fell in love with Louisville on his visit?

All the experts say he's recruited one of the best classes in the nation, Why would that be cause for concern?
Nobody is really addressing Heisenberg's point.I think Heisenberg's point is that we should be alarmed that Wojo was so oblivious to the actual prospect of landing Lee. According to Heisenberg, who reads Big Daddy as reading Wojo as saying that we had a really, really good shot at Lee. However, the fact that he committed to Lville so quickly shows that, in actuality, we never had a shot at all. Put another way, if MU actually had a real shot at Lee, he would not have committed to Lville so quickly.FWIW, maybe it's a concern, but if it is, it is a very very small one, IMO.
I don't see how this is any more oblivious than Izzo and Cal making a strong play for Ellenson.
Show us a coach who hits 1000.
So did Wojo never have a shot? I doubt that. I do believe they got positive feedback from Lee's camp, which got them in this position in the first place. This is just another litmus test for a young staff. Will they still be able to land two grad transfers like they were hoping for or do they have a JUCO ready to commit? Or are they moving on to 2016/17, which is where efforts seemed to be this week?
the only thing i am concerned about is hoping that wojo had a plan after losing out on miller and lee
