Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 3512107, member: 6158"] That's where coaches who are good recruiters come into play ($$ aside). If you can't present your brand how can you sell? 4 NC's and lots of long term NBA players from those decades is a legacy. Isn't that the product (which BTW is rebuilding and repositioning (NBE). History and facts count. I think Dan Hurley, New Big East and some very capable coaches with track records for recruiting are going to make it. Steady progress. Great salesmen have two almost contradictory traits. Enough [B]empathy[/B] (and intel) to understand the individual recruits [B]needs[/B] and enough [B]ego[/B] to close the deal. I think Hurley and his coaches are savvy enough and are relentless in pursuing recruits as they are in coaching the players themselves. There used to be "10 toes in" [B]talk[/B]. Now we have "10 toes in" [B]action.[/B] Patience and enjoy the ride! We're on the way home. [/QUOTE]
