Is Mike Boynton good at recruiting? Seven months after landing the best high school basketball player in the world in the face of more traditional powerhouses like Kentucky and North Carolina, Boynton again landed the best high school basketball player in the world, this time in the face of a potential NCAA postseason ban and in the middle of a global pandemic.
That Cade Cunningham would commit last November was mildly surprising but also understandable given Boynton’s length of relationship with him and his brother’s position on Boynton’s staff. That he would do it again in the throes of potentially crippling NCAA penalties that were tossed at OSU recently when every option in the world was still on the table for him?
