Of Buzz having a commitment from him at Marquette and knowing he could easily recruit him here right away. Not knowing what the cupboard held at VT. Once you get to a school,see the returnees, get to see them work out, see what type work ethic they have and all. By the time you go through that acquainting process it would be too late to re-recruit a Big like Satchel.

Better to grab someone right away than deliberate on them until you see what you have at your new destination.

Now, if Satchel were a member of this 2018 class after Buzz had been at Tech for 3 years and had acutely defined the specific type prospects he wants in the ACC, would Buzz still pursue him? That's the question. I'm not sure he would at this time.
