Biggest takeaway from presser

[Cuse House]

JB stated that recruiting was affected by the transition to Hop. Recruits want to play for him... So let's see if he can pull top 10 recruiting classes these next two years.

JB's best recruiting days are probably behind him. The guy sounds delusional sometimes.

Yup, which is why I have a hard time believing the excuse.

Why would recruits want to play for Hopkins?

I can play for Coach K or Calipari or Mike Hopkins. hmmm decisions decisions.

silly post

 

[dasher]

We have heard just that about Wright from Albany.

 

[OttoMets]

My biggest takeaway:

Boeheim says things.

Precisely, so my point is there are no more excuses when he doesn't produce better recruits in the next few years.

 

[Madbiker]

Did JB say is going to hire someone who has proven recruiting track record? That means outside hire.

 

[PhatOrange]

excuses? who's been using excuses?

when he doesn't produce better recruits? Since 2013 he's had 2 McDonalds All Americans and 4 kids leave early for the pro's. How much better can you get? It might be the best stretch since 88-92

edit; i erroneously counted mccollouugh who was a 5th year kid and not eligible.

My biggest takeaway is that JB is the coach until he's not healthy enough to coach.

We lose recruits to Duke and Kentucky WITH JB at the helm.

 

[PhatOrange]

We were probably los


We lose recruits to Duke and Kentucky WITH JB at the helm.

might not have lost Quade. You think people aren't negatively recruiting against the transition to Mike?

 

[Melancer46]

My biggest takeaways were:
1. Sounds like Frank will be back next year
2. Sounds like we'll be looking to hire an assistant from outside the organization.

 

[cuseguy]

might not have lost Quade. You think people aren't negatively recruiting against that?

JB was going to be here for Quade's freshman year. You think Quade was staying longer than that? Quade chose Kentucky because it has more cache with his friends, etc.

 

[syr14]

I think JB said Mac was the lead recruiter for Sidibe? Don't see many people here giving Gerry credit for that one? Probably ends up being a pretty good get. Dude is a young coach, he will eventually start to bring in better players. Everyone here needs to freaking relax a little bit.

Don't confuse him with facts.

He's on a roll! (Did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?)

fine I shouldn't have used those two programs as examples but the main point was that it's pretty easy for ANY school to recruit against the transition to mike hopkins. the guy with no track record and no system. They guy who went 4-5 with a final four team.

Our recruiting has been on a downward spiral for the past 3 years. If you look at the board, the majority of fans are not optimistic about the way things have been handled. The only facts I know are wins and losses, we have not been good there the past three years. Those are facts.

"the majority of fans are not optimistic about the way things have been handled"

Well, there's proof if I ever heard it.

Haha look at the wins and losses. The proof is in the pudding. Take off your orange glasses for once.

Nothing against Gerry. But by the time he gets in the recruiting groove, he'll be looking for another job after JB steps down.

Your first mistake is looking at the majority of fans on the board.

The facts are the last 3 years have brought us Tyus Battle, Taurean Thompson, Malachi Richardson, Tyler Lydon, and Chris McCullough. Seems like a pretty good haul to me.

Who is Jerry? Whatever you say man.

Fixed it. Hey, the president can't spell.. and he's still president. Ha.
