Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 2227590"] Obviously, there are many differences between Jim and Kevin. As far as recruiting, Jim had a process and had staff meetings focused on recruiting - everyone was held accountable and there were backup plans that were warm on the burner and the heat just needed to be turned up when the higher priority guy fell through. I think a big difference is Jim always was refining the narrative that had other schools on their heels. Play against the best in the Big East before we were the best. Then it was about UConn winning NC's. We were Wing-U, then Bigs and then PGs. He hated the Yankees but somehow we become MSG and NYC's school. He got you to the league so you would take his crap. And throw in the Beltway Ballers and pay them $25k just to piss off Gary Williams and thank you Rudy Guy. It became playing for a HOF coach, that was why Andre went to UConn - not all this he always wanted to go to State U BS. [/QUOTE]
