I don't remember all those ties to Rose, but I believe your report. It makes sense. But the kid also fell to us because a schollie suddenly opened up for us (can't remember why) — & the coaches scoured the players listings for a late pickup.
Regardless of how we found a way to win that recruiting battle, I goes to show what kinda success we could hope to gain by targeting guys like Keena Young. What we really NEEDED was more success stories like his to be able to stick in our cap.
