The Fowler saga probably led to avoiding the headaches of high end recruits for some time.

JJ dipped his toe back in with McGroarty/Fleming who were both projected top-10 picks when they committed (think T Duke was also projected 1st round as well).

We don't get much recruiting news, but James Hagens did take an official visit last Fall before committing/signing with BC.

The current issue isn't JJ's willingness to get high end players on campus. It's getting the players on the roster. Which has been a problem for a variety of reasons (a number of which will be high hurdles any ND coach will have to overcome -- NIL, agents, NHL team meddling, homesick MN kids, etc).

Add in the fact we have a new AD who has zero sports/hockey background and I think it's not likely we see any coaching change. Maybe I'm wrong.
