No, Cal CHOSE to have a really short bench because his top 8 players were all 5 stars.

Really? Are you this ignorant or are you trolling....

If the ride at the Delta Fair spun as well as some are trying to spin orlando's recruiting this year. Then no one would have been injured and there would have been a line with a hour waiting list to get on.

Orlando knows he has a three year free pass and is not pressured to work hard until year four.

In 3 years, we are down $30-$40M in CBB revenue and per seat donations. Plus his $9M. If true, worst than B12 debacle. But I agree with your post. Tubby isn't getting it done in recruiting. Maybe on a couple of top 100 lists for 2017. 2016 was disaster.

Memphis is one of the few jobs where people call for your head before you coach your first game or complete 1 single recruiting period.

Granted most tiger fans don't share that view, but its commonplace on this board.

Some of y'all are NOT like a jukebox. You only sing one song, and nobody has to put a quarter in to hear it.

Jeez, give it a rest, Gert.

I know it is difficult for some, but use a little logic:

IF Tubby did not care and IF Tubby was looking to just collect a paycheck or get his son a job, he would have stayed at Texas Tech, he was already there, they loved him, they offered him a million dollars per year raise to stay and he could have gone off into the sunset doing very little and collected a paycheck and been appreciated there ..

Instead he came here to compete for a national championship. He may be old and he may not get it done here but to say he does not care or that he came here for the paycheck is lazy and ignorant.

Why don't you use a little logic:

WTH has he done from April 12th until now to add to a roster that had four top 100 players (including a 1st team all conference player) to make them ready to challenge for a conference title. Oh, yeah, with FIVE available scholarships.

I'll wait...

Because this year he was losing his two leading scorers and had no one of note coming in to replace them outside of just promoting the next guys in line.

He knows that Kansas will always be Kansas, that WVU will be as good, if not better this year, that TCU adding Jamie Dixon won't help him, that Texas is going to be better under Shaka, that KSU returns their top 9 players or something crazy like that, etc etc.

There is a difference between can't and not caring.

Recruiting is sales, Pastner is a salesman, Tubby not so much. Pastner would make a fortune in insurance.

Sales is telling a person what they want to hear. Tubby is selling to 17 year olds, what do you think he is telling them? What is Pastner?

I would bet Tubby doesn't tell them what they want to hear. That would be my guess as to why he's never been a good recruiter.

He figured it would be easier to hand off the Memphis job to Saul than the TT job I guess.

Well, then the million dollar staff he brought with him should have done more than flip their own 2*, grab a Coppin State grad transfer, and wheel in a guy who has been injured for four years--and leave four scholarships on the table.

Hell, they could have logged in to this board, followed Hoopdreams posts, and gone from there.

Please, if ANYONE can write with a straight face that this staff's recruiting has been even AVERAGE, please explain why or how.

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

Though I haven’t really looked into why, Tubby has never been a top recruiter. He has landed some very good classes but he does not do it consistently.

We discussed this b4 he was hired here so no one should be shocked.

Maybe he did follow Poop's list, maybe he did recruit those players. Maybe he just doesn't have any salesman in him.

He may even have a little disdain for the people who do?
