Wednesday. 1st Round of Big East Tournament

[7774]

@7774 On the BE tournament, Hurley was quoted today: “With recruits, we always stress, and it’s 100 percent true, that it’s the best conference tournament in the country. The excitement, the venue, the energy in the building, the BE tournament is the best and I don’t think it’s debatable...Its a big recruiting tool...”

I will never let you live this down. It’s just too funny. Enjoy the game tonight!

Live what down? As always, you're a brutal embarrassment to critical thought.

Never said it wasn't a recruiting tool. It's just not going to move the needle as much as a bunch of other things when it comes to recruiting, like relationships with the coach and assistants, historical prestige of the program, playing time, ability to get you to the league, etc.

I've said this many, many times, but unfortunately your mental level does not allow you to grasp it, so here we are.

Remember yesterday when you said you'd turn down a Player of the Year award if it were a 3 way tie? That's your level of brain function, try to keep that in mind when you type words on the internet.

Thank you and thank you. Remember - you’re mad, and I’m laughing at you. You put conference below other menial (and sometimes related-to-the-conference) factors in recruiting. You basically said we could recruit BE guys in the AAC. Unfathomable.

I agree with Nelson on Wojo. He can recruit but I don’t think he can coach. I like Cooley but I think he is a mid-major coach. I do agree, though that Providence is not a great place To succeed. The days of the basketball coach changing players grades (family member taught there for years, Mullaney, Gavitt Pitino would go over her head regularly to make sure no-show players got passing grades. She would turn in grades with F and get the final report back showing Bs and Cs. UNC before UNC did it) to keep them eligible are gone. Plus they don’t have resources to be a power program.

Yes, how weird of me to think that. I mean, Hurley got Bouknight, Akok, Cole, and Gaffney to play in the AAC when we were basically at our rock bottom as a program, but once he massviely improved everything and developed a lottery pick, he would never be able to get any good recruits again. That's your "logic".

But seriously, we really need to get this Player of the Year thing figured out. I mean, what if every coach voted for a different player and we had 11 Players of the Year?

Technically, there could have been a 5-way tie for POY. You would have loved that I guess.

My favorite yesterday was when you said if every coach voted for someone different there would be 9 Players of the Year. Just incredible math skills.

I know. That was a good one.

That 8/9 winner has a real shot at the final. Both have great potential when they play to their talent levels.

Go X. Go Depaul.

Hoyas playing to their talents.
