Isn't this his 4th recruiting class?

You could argue to throw out his first class. He has now had 3 full classes with 1 scholarship remaining.

The age of true low post players is all but gone....

...with all the 6'10" guys bombing 3's in the NBA now big guys don't want to get on the block. There are no Ewings, Jabbars, or even Howards anymore.....at least imo.

as an excuse for not signing quality players over 6-6 who can play the positions.

what you can do.
We should know by the end of next year if he can get it done. But, I understand a sense of urgency on the part of the AD to get the basketball program on a money making path and avoid continuing down one that may be the wrong one.

1st class: Stanton 2nd class: Hall, McDaniel, Coleman, Sapp, Sullivan 3rd class: Nnoko, Smith, Filer, Roper, Blossomgame 4th class: Rooks, Ajukwa, and 1 more scholarship.
Maybe he gets a stud with the last scholarship, but so far, it's as I said it was.

because you know there were a lot of big men waiting around in April and you want to count a class that he has not finalized...That's how YOU get to 4...I say he has 2 classes to judge so far...

You can't judge Rooks' and Ajukwa's height yet?
Mar 15, 2013, 1:05 PM
|

everything I read says they are 6-3 and 6-5. He's got one more scholarship out of his last 3 classes to sign another big man, which was my original point.
And you missed the statement where I said you could argue to throw the first one of the four out.

in todays generation that is willing to be just a big block guy....they all think they can score like Durant....which lends itself back to the 'system' argument again....i'm a Brownell fan and really with where we are now have no problem giving him at least 2 more years....basketball today can be fixed quickly with so many guys wanting to jump to NBA (warranted or not) so you have ability to recruit yourself to a winning season but often its short lived unless youre the BIG DOGs.....i say let's see if he can establish a program and if in 2 years we are still here then go hire the HOT new guy and let him give it a shot....but remember im just a girls hs hoops coach so take all the above accordingly....

and maybe the Djitte kid out of Fayetteville. There are very few 4 or 5 star guys left in this cycle.
and he has no shot at those 2 five star PFs.

a big man given his coaching abilities and our roster."
After 4 recruiting class, one of which you can throw out, he only has 2 big man. He has one more scholarship to use in this class, possibly on another big man. Up to this point we only have 2 men(most understand this is less than desirable).
I thought I would consolidate my statements for you.
