Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 3265992, member: 62"] Here's what you are not getting -- Calhoun was recruiting to the best conference in all of college basketball for most of his tenure. When you are doing that you can consistently recruit effectively nationwide. In almost every other circumstance, recruiting is a regional game, whether it be as an AAC team or a Big East team, and it is far easier to recruit the northeast as a member of Big East than as a member of a southern/midwestern conference. Penny will play out just as many former NBA alumni have played out -- early recruiting success, until it becomes clear that he can't coach them. Penny may do a bit better because of the resources behind the Memphis program, but we've seen this movie before . . . [/QUOTE]
