They would have probably laughed at the suggestion that Tubby's recruiting at Memphis would be worse than it was at Minnesota and Texas Tech. Before witnessing it, I would have also thought that that was impossible.
That's just a false statement. His only complete class he's had at Memphis was better than his first class at either Minny or TTU. His average of his first 2 classes here will be better than his average for his tenure at both other schools.
You may not like the way he's recruiting, but his class is shaping up this year. Will be comparable to what Pastner had here for 4 of his 7 years here. Take out the daddy factor, and it's 4 of Pastner's 6 years here.
Once again, to point out how silly this statement is...
2009
Will Coleman and Elliot Williams versus Kessee, Rivers and Chad; massive advantage Pastner
2010
Like killing a fly with an atomic bomb, advantage Pastner
2011
Adonis Thomas #17 versus Johnson the highest rated at #106. Advantage Pastner
2012
Shaq at #44 and Wilson at #140; assume the jucos this year are equal to Geron Johnson. Advantage Pastner
2013
Haha. Advantage Pastner
2014
Magee at #72 still higher ranked than Johnson at #106. Will play nice and say advantage Tubby
2015
" Take out the daddy factor, and it's 4 of Pastner's 6 years here." Tubby had daddy and daddy was going to be the gift that kept on giving, a LEGAL means of paying for players
6 out of 7 years, Pastner crushes Tubby and there is no way in hell that Tubby comes anywhere close to anything Pastner did after his first 2 years. Tubby will never sniff a single player in the top 25. Pastner recruited 12 players in the top 60. Has Tubby had any of those in the last 10 years?

IF Tubby manages to sign the equivalent to Kedren Johnson or Ricky Tarrant and Calvin Godfrey or David Pellom, we MIGHT have been an NCAA team last year.
Last but not least, Tubby still doesn't have an above average point guard, power forward or center signed and has nobody on the horizon yet for next year. How can anyone defend him or talk about rankings given what he has (not) done is mind boggling.
