What was Brownell supposed to say to kids he visited under those circumstances? "Look, uh, I know the donors and administration hate me for some reason, and despite doing nothing wrong don't have a new contract yet. But sure, I'll be here the next 4 years. Of course I will."

Blame Rosemary DePaolo, Mike Capaccio, and Kelly Mehrtens for what Benny Moss and then Buzz Peterson walked into. Under Chancellor Leutze and Peg, none of that mess would have ever happened.

Meanwhile, Buzz deserves credit for cleaning up the program from the APR stuff, and leaving it in a better place than he found it. We didn't win under him, but he set the table for Keatts.

We're all in agreement that Keatts did great things here on the court. But he shouldn't be in the "ring of honor" with guys like Wainwright and Brownell.

Also, there are two sides to every story. There is quite a bit i'm aware of that you may not be aware of based on the treatment of Keatts as he left as well. So let's not pretend we have a good guy v. bad guy situation.

Did you ever stop for a second here and think that maybe some of us are aware of somethings you are not?

in your "facts" comparing the two situations you used CB's recruits to count as depth, that's laughable.

And did you ever stop to think there are some facts I am aware of that you are not? Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe there was a reason Keatts felt less than obliged to do everything he could for UNCW as he left? Or, is he just a bad person who for no reason decided he shouldn't help UNCW as he exited?

And I also counted Benny's recruits his first year. What's your point?
