Message: [QUOTE="MaxwellCuse, post: 3216452, member: 1240"] Well, it really isn't that hard to negatively recruit against a 75-year-old coach who has had a faltering record in recent years. Add to that a negative-recruiting narrative that points to the young coach-in-waiting and ace recruiter bailing on his beloved mentor and you get what you get. I just fear that as the years go by it gets even more difficult for JB to effectively counter that narrative. I don't buy the idea that the game has passed JB by, but the Schianos of the college BB coaching community are having a field day at our expense at the moment. Personally, I'm praying for a surprise run in 2020/2021 with a decent showing in the NCAAs, after which JB announces he is turning over the reins to the best coach John Wildhack can hire. May not be realistic but that's my take. [/QUOTE]
