Wow, the limitations of expressing oneself on the internet, is really brought home on this thread.
I have never said, Chandler was a good prospect. With benefit of hindsight, he was not, and we may have done him a disservice by offering him a scholarship. Not sure what he does next.
I never thought Jesse was a poor prospect. In fact, he sounds great, and I would love to see him at UR. But I've observed many of these recruiting ventures, and am aware of the calendar. Last August, almost every program had a schollie opening. The number is smaller now, and growing smaller every day. We generally want recruits to enroll in summer school, what is the deadline for that? Jesse is not just starting out, looking for schools to play for, he did that last fall, and selected Charlotte. He is now reconsidering, but that reconsideration is almost certainly going to be shorter and more focused than last fall. I would have thought that a visit to UR would have resulted in a commitment from Jesse, unless something led him to think otherwise. And, yes, the news of Brunt's departure, might have been that. And, of course, we don't know that UR actually has made him an offer. Jesse could still commit to UR, and I'd be very happy if that happens. But I think it unlikely, given the above facts.
