Message: [QUOTE="NJHoops, post: 3488985, member: 8779"] Re: recruitment of bigs They felt there were only a handful of guys that fit two criteria: they had at least a chance to get them and they were low-risk players (meaning they expected them to be good pretty much right away). That’s who they focused on. Unfortunately, they didn’t get those guys. Those recruiting efforts took place in a context where the team was still in the AAC and the program, for whatever past success it’s had, was in a low point. You’ve seen how this staff manages a roster- they didn’t want to reach on a guy to just take up a roster spot when they felt confident that it would be easier to recruit players in the future. You can argue it wasn’t the right approach and they should have done something different. Maybe that’s true, but they had an overall plan to get the program back. It’s on track so far. But about Tahj... [/QUOTE]
