Of course they won conference championships almost immediately after he arrived.

Not saying Cullop or K will have anywhere near that success - even if it was just talking about MAC championships - but the real question is whether they are continually improving or not. I guess I don't see it. Just no consistency and it's not like they are being held at bay by a dominating team in the conference.

It's a process!

lol - I just heard someone (Kam Newton??) talking about "the process" after one of the games over the weekend.

1. Every coach talks about the process now. Just a buzz word. Campbell certainly didn't make it up.

2. Coach K has never signed a 3 star player. He also keeps offering kids from his home area of Wisconsin and Minnesota, but could never get one to sign.

3. When you think about the outdated 60's arenas that Kent and Akron have, we should be able to dominate those schools in men's recruiting, but they keep going to the NCAA's. Maybe it's the coaches?

Depending on the service, Garber, Rogers, and Knapke were 3 star recruits. Let's not forget the PR damage the point shaving and Cross did to the program. That was some major stuff.

Watched Ethan Happ embarrass Indiana last night. I hope Knapke's redshirt year leads to something like that.
