Message: [QUOTE="SU Dreaming, post: 2934043, member: 6321"] dude you know nothing about me, so i will call your agenda comment fake news i do not have an agenda, but i do have information, a very steady flow of it and I am looking ahead, we have major headwinds against us we had 2 kids up for the duke game, do not count QG or JGIII, they are signed players for next season since 2010, while we did not sign every player we wanted (who did), we have had no issue getting top 25 kids on campus - no issue - the list of potential players to visit is just unbelievable, even for the 2019 class the recruiting visits have been outstanding (players) the 2 kids up for the duke game are ranked where? are you hearing much on the board or on the internet about recruiting for next season? details? are we out visiting players during the season like other programs? visiting with top 50 talent? bottom line is - we are in big trouble regarding recruiting starting with the 20 class and it clearly showed for the Duke game do you know why we are in big trouble? we cannot afford to go thru another retirement tour w/ JB. 2020 kids are all asking who is going to be the HC, they are asking when is JB leaving, our competition is doing exactly what they did after JB announced he was retiring after xyz season. even though hop was the next coach, b/c he did not have a track record as a HC, it was a problem for us, a big problem if you notice, we did sign big-time players for 2018 and 2019 - at least according to the rankings- that's b/c our staff and the families knew JB was here thru Buddy graduation looking at it from other angle - no coach can say with 100% certainty he will be the HC from 2020 to 2024, however how many coaches besides JB know they are hanging it up when their son graduates? Can't include blue bloods like Duke & UNC, they are at a different level and have unlimited budgets Now this ......here is really what my concern is - $$$ i have said it on here many times, JB has given us a huge discount for the past let's say 19-20 years (2000), JB took a discount between $30,000,000.00 & $65,000,000.00. there was a recent article where we were ranked #10 for the past xyz years in college basketball - in front of many many other big programs, i am willing to be JB is one of the lowest paid coaches peer to peer i like gmac & red, but i feel strongly that whomever replaces jb has to have hc experience and hopefully a resume of success (it can be a short resume) [URL='http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/mens-basketball/coach/']USA TODAY Sports[/URL] JB #43, [URL='https://www.boydsbets.com/highest-paid-coaches-college-basketball/']NCAA College Basketball Coaches Salaries - How Much Do Top Guys Make?[/URL] look at how many coaches are in front of him and how many of them you would not want to be our coach yet we are top 10 basketball program in the country the past x amount of years yet we have to be top 10 kids getting drafted nba How many other big-time coaches are taking this discount?

Basketball has basically carried the entire athletics department forever, until Dino turned us around, it is a money making machine, one of the most well known global brands in college basketball, school has to step up, but before they even do, [B][U]where will the program be?[/U][/B] [B][U]bottom line - we are in trouble re recruiting and it is all about the unknown future [/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
