A) won't get anybody good in 2017. We're in with 1 top 100.

B) won't be able to bounce back in the 17-18 season because we won't have a foundation to build on

And

C) will miss out on the loaded 18 and 19 classes because we will be mired in 1998-2002 level mediocrity

Then again, if the Big XII expands at the expense of the American, we may end up with another perfect storm situation (basketball-wise) like the one Cal had after everybody good (except us) left C-USA and have a streak of 16-0 seasons in conference. You never know what the future holds.

But regardless of any speculation, the overarching facts that I cannot overlook are that we hired the reigning Big XII men's basketball Coach of the Year whose school offered him a million dollar raise to stay, and some of our fans would like nothing better than to see him fired today. That tells me that one side or the other is probably not playing with a full deck. I have my own perspective on that, and I guess everyone else has a right to his or her own opinions about it.

Here's the question, though. Was he that much better a recruiter five months ago when he was voted the best coach in a much better league?

I suspect it's easier for any given coach to recruit to Memphis than to Texas Tech, but that's more speculation on my part, not proven fact. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. Stay tuned.
