By everybody you mean JB. Maybe he feels forever indebted to him because of the 6 3’s... but I think most of us just want the best person available. If Gerry’s body of work can beat out Curly, Shaka smart, Hop, Pat Beilein, etc then more power to him. I just don’t think he‘s even on the radar if wildhack looks at this objectively.
How many cycles are we supposed to give him? Even if he were to nab an elite talent in 2021, his body of work would only score well in horseshoes.
There’s nothing ridiculous about saying that Gerry has had some close calls but lacks a signature win. Do you want Gerry to be the next head coach or would you prefer a national search?
Those are top 100 recruits. Not exactly a Stewart. We used to have assistants that could pull in a McD every other cycle.
Yep. Autry has talked with others too
How can I take you seriously when you have someone like Shaka Smart on the list? Lol
JBs system needs elite or near-elite talent to thrive. I don’t care about what works for other coaches or systems. We’re stuck with iso.
Wes Johnson was near-elite. Rick Jackson and Scoop were also top 50. Are we really going to split hairs over what 'near-elite' means? We're not getting anything close to that collection of talent right now. We're lucky if we can get 1 top 50 kid and we have to fudge the canadian metric system to figure that out.
They're ballers but they'd be role players on our better teams. We need a couple star players to complement the role players or they'll be shut down by the top half of the ACC.
Scoop and Rick were easily top 50 in at least a couple different ranking magazines and Wes was on the All-Rookie team at Iowa State. Those guys were high major talents. Are you disputing that? We're going off on a tangent if we're getting caught up in the rankings - I forgot that those numbers were a bit inconsistent. I just remember the Rick, Scoop class was very highly rated collectively.
