And supposedly Red was a great recruiter, yet all his big gets since he became head coach were great big duds. Talent but pretty bad intangibles.
My guess is part of the reason GMAC supposedly whiffed on some big recruits (would love to have some names by the way) is either JAB or Red didnt close the deal or maybe didnt want the person.
Based on things GMAC said when he took over Siena, he valued certain intangibles (willing to work, coachability, maturity, leadership) as highly as talent.  Which to be fair is a way to differentiate in the MAAC.

As I said, without researching it, I have no clue who he recruited successfully and who he whiffed on.

I do know he recruited Maliq Brown who was pretty much the entire package.
Defensive player of the year and sixth man of the year in the ACC.

He recruited Doty for SU.  Red said a great big no - waste of a scholarship.
Considering the bodies we had the last 2 years, I find that laughable.
2nd place player of the year in the MAAC but apparently not worth an end of the bench scholarship for SU.
