Steve Victory JOURNAL – Recruiting update 2005-06
With only one scholarship to offer, Victory holds nothing back when he goes on the recruiting trail.
"What do I have to lose by calling the top prospect in the country and offering him a free ride to a beautiful campus with a chance to start right off the bat?" he tells an assistant before a trip to see highly regarded guards Charlie Sagester and Nathan Webber.
Sagester and Webber eventually opt to go pro, and several other top-notch recruits ink elsewhere, but Victory feels pretty good about his catch when SG Jabari Tucker from New York inks in week nine.
Tucker had a great senior year in high school, pumping in 29 points and dishing out 4 assists for his NY prep squad. But the big question Victory finds himself asking – can he play defense?!?
