Lon Kruger overrated just like Ben Howland, these east coast guys cant cut it out west.


look for Gillepsi and Eustachy to turn around programs.

 

[Fishhead]

Good stuff!

Thanks

I agree w/ Eustachy, but it'll be tough as hell for Gillispie at A&M. Big 12 competition and recruiting in Texas could be too tough.

College hoops is tough for coaches. Lots of guys are good at strategy or recruiting, but not both. The rare few like Coach K, Pittino, Williams, etc. are in a class by themselves when it comes to doing both right.

My boy Romar has the Huskies on fire with a simply unbelievable class possibly coming in, ranked by all in the top 5. I don't think I EVER could imagine in my wildest dreams the pundits saying we will have a great class if we don't lose the signees to the NBA. That is remarkable what he has done in two years, but I still have to be sold on his actual ability to coach and guide all the talent to bigger and better things. Sometimes the coach can do it, but sometimes the team just underperforms. We shall see what happens there and in many of these situations nationwide.

K and Williams horrible game coaches, Calhoun makes K look like a reatrd every time. Romar had great recruiter in Cameron Dollar

I agree Rail
