It'll be interesting to watch recruiting develop to see if this was just good luck or indication that Gottfried is able to recruit effectively in the state and for high profile recruits.
I think Sidney Lowe had 2 5-star recruits in his 6 years, JJ Hickson and CJ Leslie. Gottfried has been on the job 6 weeks or so and has already landed one.
We'll see if this turns into another wishy-washy commitment then de-commit. This commit came squarely on Gottfried's watch though, so the coaching change should be a non-factor here.
The kid also thinks this could bring in another big time recruit or two in the class.
If this was actually Gottfried's recruiting mojo at work he seems to be ahead of Lowe's pace. It took Lowe 2 or 3 seasons to get a major recruit to come on board.
In a best case of what this could mean for the team itself, if Lorenzo Brown comes back for his junior year he'd stay at the point and State could again have a big time scorer who can get his own shot, rather than being a catch and shoot guy, at the 2-guard.
