Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 4152594, member: 86"] These are good points. Personally I think he overestimated his ability to get East coach kids to follow…and more importantly, underestimated the difficulty recruiting on the west coast without existing relationships. Recruiting hoops out west is brutally competitive and muuuch more shall I say….grittier. Having said that, there is no doubt in my mind, that he would real in top 20 classes back East. But as someone pointed out, he needs the right staff under him. He needs a veteran offensive coach / someone who values skills as much as athleticism. I’m confident he could recruit. I’m confident he can fundraise and connect with boosters. I’m less confident he can game plan/coach given what I’ve seen. But I think that people who are labeling him as a failure / non starter are over the top. He’s going to be in the mix. [/QUOTE]
