those are elite level recruits. They're not coming to a program that has had only one winning season in the last four seasons based on connections alone.
The assumption that Martin was gonna drastically improve our recruiting right away has been an odd one. He's definitely improved it (Tilmon, Mark Smith, Torrence Watson, Mario McKinney...all good Stl area recruits that we normally wouldn't get without Martin), but the 2020 kids are quite a step above and we're competing with Duke, Kentucky, Michigan St, and more for them.
We ain't winning those battles now. In time, and a stronger footing for the program, maybe we will.
