Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1562383, member: 628"] I get it. I'm torn. I understand the relationship aspect of recruiting. At the same time, Millhouse does make a valid point. Board wisdom is that Shafer inherited a "bare cupboard" because of Marrone's recruiting shortcomings. Now maybe people will say that's because of facilities. But then that makes me wonder if facilities trump relationships, in which case then maybe it's not critical we have a guy with deep northeast ties. I tend to think a good coach can make most anything work. If we hire a top-flight guy from the west coast I assume he's be smart enough to know he needs to find some staff with ties to the east.
