Well he said he recruited offense and coached defense.

He said he couldn't teach someone to score 20 points a game but
he could teach them how to play defense.

RE: What type of players will Forbes recruit?
What I'm hoping for is a return of highly skilled basketball players. I never saw the late 80s, early 90s teams (outside of the videos that have been posted here) but the ETSU teams I first started watching under Eddy D wren't just athletic, they were HIGHLY skilled. Bigs could score on the low block AND shoot from outside. We had guards that could get to the basket AND hit jumpers. Most importantly, we had teams that were lead by a dynamic PG. Even if they were guys like Tim Smith that made you pull your hair out, we had PGs that the opposing team had to account for.

That skill and talent slowly eroded under MuBar and it's something I hope see return under Coach Forbes. Forbes has stated he plans to model his program after Wichita State, a highly skilled and offensively versatile team.

That comment stood out to me. I think Forbes will be far more diverse in his recruiting strategy and far more patient when players get here. In short, he gets it.

From his comments about Burger King AA's versus McDonald's AA's, I expect he also likes players with a "something to prove" attitude.
