There are still 5 or 6 uncommitted top 100 kids 6'9" or taller. Would something like a final four run put A&M in the discussion for them even if we have had no real previous contact? Would it be too late?
Who knows. Maybe. Basketball recruiting doesn't seem as correlated to on-court success as you would think. South Carolina has 0 2018 recruits signed right now despite going to the 2017 Final Four. Personal relationships, perceived playing time and fit, how big a bag the affiliated shoe company dropped...lots of possible factors.
Obviously can't hurt though to have a great season.
Unlike football recruiting, obviously the advantage of hoops recruiting is picking up just one or two of the right guys is more likely to make a major impact.
