I mean if we don't get Leffew yeah it looks bad. But simply hiring the guy that delivers your starting point guard makes it a great hire alone even if the rest is lacking. Leffew has big time offers and was probably headed to IU.Why is that true? Do you know that?
They were only in the MAAC the last two years. The prior 4 years in the NEC, they were average at best. 6-12, 7-11, 9-7, 9-7.
He inherited a good job and for the NEC, it is a good job. A lot of fan support for that league. Good recruiting area. Jamion Christian had won 20 games, 5 of 6 years with 10+ league wins. From there he got Siena (paid better), then went to GW. Flamed out there. Milan Brown also did well and got Holy Cross (better paying job as well).
Mount is a stepping stone job, but this guy didn't knock it out of the park. Different era, sure, but the playing field is a lot more even in the NEC/MAAC.
We'll see. I don't get this one.
We get a plug and play 5th year senior PG and his former coach so someone who can assert some control over the PG position and the team.
You think we should have passed on him for someone with more recruiting 'potential' or better AAU hype or connections? He seems to be solid in that area too and now gets to recruit for a bigger school. Its not like he was fired either. He's probably leaving because the school couldn't handle going up in conference its not entirely on him.
