So in your opinion, Hoopdreams knows more about recruiting than Tubby Smith and his entire staff? OK, thanks for the input.

Well alrighty then.

Make sense of what Tubby has done (or hasn't done) since April 12th.

Flipped a 2*
Got a grad transfer from Coppin State
Grabbed a dude who hasn't played college ball in four years a couple weeks ago.

Still has four scholarships open.

No, you must have me confused with some other message board poster who hasn't ever coached, recruited, or won national championships on high level DI teams but thinks he knows more than those who have.

As for me, I gave a wet-behind-the-ears gumdrop who had no business in the big office of the Finch five years of benefit-of-the-doubt before I threw in the towel on him. And I still have some sense of fairness about me. I'll trust that the guy we hired to replace him knows what's best for the team until he proves me wrong. He hasn't done that yet, know-it-all keyboard jockeys notwithstanding.

Give me a break with the whole "so you know more than a D1 coach who won a national title" nonsense.

There are quite a few people on this board who have advanced degrees, have done well in their personal or professional life, or have the ability to understand how to run an entity (in a broad sense).

It doesn't take the sharpest tack to look at this roster, look who was taken, and then LOOK TO SEE HOW MANY OPEN SCHOLARSHIPS remain to realize that this staff did not maximize their opportunity to win THIS YEAR.

If the argument is that the staff tried to get more bodies but just couldn't get commits--who is that on?

If the argument is that the staff thinks eight legitimate scholarship players is enough--who is that on?

Either way it's on the staff. If you haven't been paying attention to who the lead recruiter is, I suggest you do. Let's just say, by his dealings on twitter he doesn't instill the greatest degree of confidence in me that he has a clue on how to work at a bigtime program with bigtime expectations and a fanbase that is hungry to win again.
