That's my point. Burke is working with a young group that isn't as talented and he's coached them up to beat some teams we couldn't beat before. These aren't his recruits and i'd like to see what we look like with more experience, more size and with recruits Burke brings in. I like what he's doing with what we've got and I don't see that any other coach would do better.

You are completely ignoring that the talent around the league has decreased as well.

I don't see Burke recruiting a higher level of talent than before. He might construct a roster differently or maybe even a different style of player but you're acting like he some esteemed recruiter. I like Burke but for you to assume he's going to be able recruit at the level Keatts is a bold way of thinking. If Burke gets this job it will be for his ability to gameplan and motivate, not his recruiting ability. If what you're saying is correct and he's never had any impact on the recruiting at UNCW, then he's never had experience recruiting at this level. His only other assistant job was The Citadel, which can't recruit anywhere near the same level of talent that we can.
