Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 4558793, member: 168"] I think it's less "if he wants a player he gets him" and more he figures out fits and interest and targets players he knows are gettable. He's also absolutely exceptional at spotting talent—he doesn't just look at rankings. Like, we wanted Fillipowski. He gaged that it wasn't likely going to happen, so he shifted very early to Karaban, a similar fit in some ways and also an excellent player, though a step down. Other coaches, including our prior, don't make that hard assessment, and stuck on kids we were obviously not getting far too long, and in doing so cost ourselves exceptional local talent we absolutely should have gotten.
