As I said before I was wrong wanting a complete makeover, Vonn Read deserves to be made the permanent coach. I really don't care what record they end up with this year.
The season is far from over-- but I agree here. My only question with Read is, can he recruit??? Because right now he is using the transfers and recruits that Q has gotten here. Perhaps, when all is said and done the recruits/transfers will see a fun of a brand of basketball and will want to follow suit. We will need the athletes/shooters like we do this year to play the kind of basketball that Read wants to play though. Im sure there will be plenty of solid options via the transfer portal if worst comes to worst.
Well Vonn(and staff) are the ones who recruited the transfers, so I think he is a pretty decent recruiter. Also if someone else how do you know they would be better recruiters?
And who has Vonn recruited here? I'm sure you have no idea, just like I don't haha. Most of the top recruits that have came here have said their relationship with Q was their deciding factor.
The transfers all came after Q was gone. All the transfers were recruited by the interim staff.
What are you talking about? No they didn't. They all came BEFORE Q "resigned". They just wanted to stay, luckily. Was that due to Read and staff? I don't know. I hope it was one of the reasons.
What are you talking about none of them were here before Q was terminated( eh resigned under duress).
Hmm, I'm not quite sure which chronology you're following, because to my knowledge the transfers were already enrolled and on campus since June-July. Q didn't "resign" until early August?!
But who actually recruited them, because by those dates Q was under pretty intense duress. and I do not believe they were actually enrolled until September or late August. Any commitment could have been negated easily at Q "resignation". Is that not so?
Not correct. They were enrolled early for summer sessions.
Correct. Which is why when Q "resigned" Shalexxus Aaron, Laura Salmerón, Amani Bartlett, Shayeann Day-Wilson, and Latasha Lattimore flipped their commitments to other schools. The transfers that are currently still on the team decided to stay, rather than to flip like the others did.
Okay but you are saying Vonn had nothing to do with their recruitment or retention, I am saying that is not factual.
What I said was that I wasn't sure, and that I hoped his relationship with them played a factor in their decision to stay. Are you sure? Do you have connections that i'm unaware of?
too soon to make decisions for a head coach. Way too soon
Are you denying that he was a major player in the recruitment of Mangakahia and Cardoso? among others.
But your original post was questioning recruiting ability, he has always been a major part of player recruiting under Q or did you not know that? especially the international players.
Are you trying to be a headache on purpose? You are correct. My original post WAS questioning his recruiting ability--because no one knows how well he will be able to recruit as a head coach which is a fact. Q did the majority of the recruiting to my knowledge.
I thought you said you had no inside knowledge? Either you do or you dont which is it? You are certainly claiming inside knowledge.
Agree. I really like how things are going but I'm not quite ready to make a decision on Vonn's future after a couple ACC games.
Read and all the ladies had bonding times during the summer, which helped set the tone for this season. That and watching the interaction of the players with Vonn every game that I have seen, shows he is a teacher and leader.
