Long time lurker as UG, but now as alum I decided to post. Two things: 1. There is a difference between two star recruits and not top 150. There are A LOT of three star guys out there who aren't in the top 150. 2. I am completely ok with not 150 recruits. Sure, you want to have a healthy portion of them, but you could be recruiting guys that buy into your system or fit a mold you're looking for. I vaguely remember a team my sophomore year that reached 10th in AP with not a top 150 guy in the starting five. Or, heck, you could see potential in a kid and find a diamond in the rough (Being in Omaha now I think Justin Patton at Creighton--although he turned out to be a top 100 guy at the end of his HS career, he certainly wasn't when he received his only D1 offer his JR year).
But in regards to the topic, best of luck to these two. Can't fault kids for not wanting to stay when playing for a new coach who didn't recruit them and they see opportunities to play more elsewhere. Zeke is tough, though. As a local kid, you want him to stay and do well.
