Bow averaged 20 points and six rebounds per contest this past season. He earned consensus all-state accolades from the Detroit News, Detroit Free Press and Bank Hoops. A first-team All-Oakland Activities Association pick, he was also named to both the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News All-Metro North squads and was a 1,000 point scorer on the prep level. He posted a career-high 40 points in a single game, led his squad to an 18-3 overall record and has been tabbed as the state's #3 combo player and #22 overall standout by Inside Prep Sports. He was also ranked among the state's top 40 players by Prep Hoops.
The 6-0 Kelser tallied 21 points, 3.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals this past year for Schoolcraft Community College. He earned National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) First Team All-America accolades and was an All-Region XII First Team pick. This season, he was chosen as the Michigan Community College Athletic Association (MCCAA) Eastern Conference Player of the Year and also earned first-team All-MCCAA kudos in addition to being named to the District 10 All-Tournament Team. As a sophomore this year at Schoolcraft CC, Kelser ranked 18th in the country in scoring average and totaled 39 points in a single game. He led his squad to a 23-8 overall mark. Kelser is the nephew of Greg Kelser, a former Michigan State All-American and NBA veteran.

I agree but they seem like the kind of players that would dribble into Calihan and drop 25pts on us, and I'd be asking why didn't we recruit that guy? While we'd have a guy like Solanke or Jesse Barnes sitting on the bench averaging 1.2 splinters in their rear end.

+1 spot on

Let’s face it, if he recruits well we will win and if he doesn’t, we won’t (no matter how good are the X’s and O’s, the motivational speeches, etc). Let’s face it, we will never pull a recruit away from U of M or MSU, but we also know you can still have a great program recruiting the next tier very well. Which makes me wonder how he would have made the determination to take our offer? Because I’m also pretty sure he could have landed a position with a better program than ours if he marketed himself more. Do you think he might have spoken confidentiality with an Izzo or someone like that?

It isn't all about how many stars the recruit has, it is about the system and culture they train and play within. The Titans don't need 3-4-5 star recruits to win the Horizon League and go the NCAA tournament. From my seat, that is the criteria for success on the court at this time.
Here is an article about John Wooden's philosophy. http://www.5-a-side.com/profiles/coach- ... -a-legend/
For those of you who read this, please make it down to the section about pep talks to teams. I couldn't agree more - in sports or business. As we saw over the past two years, great speeches did not win games.
