I think a good coach, with a full year to recruit, could get us back to at least NIT level the second year, third at most. We might be looking at the NIT for a couple years but, with the right coach, we could be truly relevant again in 4-5 years with a steady rise over that time period. And to those that think we can't attract a good coach, we attracted Calhoun in 1985. We were a bottom feeder back then. Awful. We had worse than awful facilities and the school wasn't nearly as highly regarded, academically, as it is now. Yes, we may be under an investigation but that is WAY outweighed by the positives. These coaches, even the younger ones, saw what Calhoun did here and there is no reason to think it couldn't be done again. If any of these guys thinks they are HOF material, this is a good place for them to prove it. [/QUOTE]
