Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2689800, member: 488"] The optimal outcome - and this ties into the question at the end of your post - would have been for Hurley to convince Jermaine Harris to follow him here. A similar outcome would have been to sign somebody like Tariq Owens (St. John's kid who can protect the rim, guard virtually every position, and shoot free throws) or any number of other grad transfers that were available. These aren't things I hold against him, but it isn't as if those things never happen. There are a ton of coaches who take a new job and bring their players along - I think Cal brought Cousins from Memphis to UK, Mack followed Smart to Texas, I think Butler had a kid or two follow Holtman to Ohio State, etc. [/QUOTE]
