As well as other good midmajors who can honestly offer him a comparable--& even bigger--role than we'd be willing to, probably.
We'd be very lucky to be the number he calls tomorrow. I don't think there's anything objective that we as fans can honestly identify — that would lean Mac our way ultimately over the others. But hopefully there's something. We all should know we have some obvious weak points in our overall resume for a typical kid hailing from a place like small-town Virginia — so to make it into his final 7 is already good news — but I would say it's still a long ways from great news.
I'm sure glad we have a guy like Pope in the thick of this battle. But he's certainly NOT the only noteworthy recruiter & coach in on this thing.
