When you're talking about the mid-major level, you're far more likely to end up with a bunch of Trey Kalina's than anything close to a Rendleman or Cacok. We were lucky to be able to land Dodd. I'd rather use scholarships on quality or decent guards than recruit goofy 6-10 guys with bad hands.

4-guard lineups are really the only way to win at the mid-major level. But you have to have a strategy in place to make up for the lack of size. In Year 3 we need to figure that out, and fast. Bill Coen does it every single year at Northeastern and always has that team in contention.

His point was, for the style he's trying to play, you need big guys.

Bingo.

Going small is fine, if you adapt to your personnel with style of play. Based on our roster we should be doing a combination of pressing, trapping, running. The lackof running thing is just as mind boggling as not pressing. Especially when you have two pretty damn good Pgs that can/could push the pace.
