I'll take a wild ass guess and say they draw 2,500+ more fans for the early games, maybe much more with a decent home schedule. After that it will all come down to whether they win and the basketball's entertaining.

Not sure that is a big factor, he'd be incoming class of 2023 so his first year would be fall 2023.
And I believe they all have multiple years of eligibility left.

This is a silly discussion. He'd have more worries about playing time off the bat at the other schools he's considering. If he is as advertised, he'd start here Day 1.

It's more of Martin probably wouldn't be bringing in 4 bigs if he knew he was getting Jackson even for 2023.

But you could also look at it as Martin wanted 4 bigs to come and didn't know how recruiting would turn out, so he got the 4 he wanted without counting on a recruit deciding to come here.

The GG situation reminds me a lot of what Cal did when Travis Best was deciding on a school. Cal asked him to consider UMass at the time, which in itself was a huge win, and set the expectations moving forward of the caliber of player we were targeting.

If Frank actually did get GG to campus (the alleged "secret visitor") we might have a legit shot here. Anyone know anything?
