The surefire way to be in that 30% group is to lose every remaining game under JAB. That way, it is impossible to underperform the current regime.
As I'm getting the link, I realize I wrote Inside Syracuse, but I meant Locked on Syracuse.
I would have to guess that there are a whole bunch of guys out there that are better recruiters than Griff. And a good number that are better than Red. They are true Orangemen and I respect that. But no one is confusing them with Troy Weaver. And I bet there is a Troy Weaver out there waiting for a call from us.
Troy Weaver, Rob Murphy, Wayne Morgan.
Or, they found that the reason the job was available was because their predecessor got relieved of their duties for trying to "manage up" their CEO.
I still think you’re really underestimating both guys recruiting ability. Griff was on Archie Miller’s staff at Dayton when they were a consistent winner and making NCAA tourney runs as a mid-major. He knows how to find under the radar guys. Red was an assistant at Va Tech under Seth Greenberg previously, and has recruited both highly rated guys like Jerami Grant, Ennis, Mike Gbinije, Andrew White, Oshae, Quincy G, Jalen Carey (a bust but highly rated) and under the radar guys like Marek. I don’t think you’re giving either guy enough credit, imo. As others have said, the assistants hands have been tied with JB. He’s really difficult to deal with at this point. That said, I don’t disagree that Hop could choose to bring in a charismatic top-flight recruiter with great AAU connections to boost our efforts.
I didn't say that they were horrible. Red is clearly a good recruiter. I just think we can do better. Dayton and Va Tech aren't elite programs. Good. Not elite.
I think the point you are responding to was saying that he if he managed to recruit at Dayton successfully, he must be a good recruiter.

Coaches talk: Who are the top high major assistant coaches?

Feel like Red does not get the love he deserves. He is an elite assistant coach that deserves an HC gig sometime soon.

I can't come up with someone we can legitimately hire from the outside that we know will do better than red other than Rick Pitino. I would hire Rick for a 5-year transition period but other than him i have no idea who we could land that would be a slam dunk.
Could be Hop AND he could be right.
I don't know how well he recruited at Dayton. I do know that recruiting there and at a p-5 school are totally different.
Good enough to beat us...
I doubt Griff's recruiting @ Dayton is the reason we couldn't hit water falling out of a boat on J's for that one freaking game.
I guess that also means that Colgate is now out-recruiting us also?
Since they won that one game that one time.
I have no idea how many of those guys he recruited.Good enough to beat us...
Yep. No one outside of the sport really knows who is a good recruiter
