KO: "can he coach his own players?"

[EdgewoodNHV]

I'm glad the media keeps doubting our coaches, our players, and our program. I'd much prefer to be the underdog. If I wanted to to read about a bunch of over-hyped group of prima donnas who everybody spends all offseason/early season talking about, only to collapse like a dying star in March, I'd root for Syracuse.

I'm not quite as convinced as you are, Danzz, as far as recruiting goes. I need a bigger sample. Also, JC had a history of recruiting coachable kids, so I think the question of how KO does with his own recruits is not as ridiculous as some would label it. However, I think KO will pass every test, and silence every doubter over the next couple of years.

Of course he can, but Jimmy will have his back just in case

Geez.. would people stop acting like JC somehow recruited "different" kids?! He recruited the same kids that all the big time programs did.. they just didn't come here as often as they went elsewhere.

Saying KO needs to win with "his own players" is absolutely MORONIC!!! Watching the final four and following our title it amazed me that the biggest story was squid and the freshmen. maybe im bias but i thought ko`s story was far more interesting and simply amazing and it got little coverage. i dont want to go into everything that was stacked against him from day one as we all know the story. We`ll just have to face the fact that we are not liked nationally and this media bias will continue for the foreseeable future. its cool. id rather be hated while winning titles then loved for being 25-0
