This start to settle some tubby critics down?

Seems the people with ties to the local programs (high school, aau/competitive) are upset he isnt going after local kids or playing up local ties, which is what got him into trouble with the new jayhawks.

It might settle voices for a week or so but the fundamental problems with Tubby remain. Vanover, by all accounts, is a 3 star project and it appears Tubby is going to miss on a number of local recruits. Unthinkable prior to Tubby. So his glaring flaws remain. He doesn't recruit to standards expected by Memphis fans and his public relations is all but nonexistant. Vanover, and his 'maybes,' just helps you take a break from that reality for a moment.

Its hard to focus on our ugly little baby called UConn football. I would much rather talk basketball. At least we will have a winning record and maybe a NIT birth....

No, the acceptable standard at Memphis (IMO) is NCAA Tourney appearances nearly every year (e.g. 4 out of five years), at least one NCAA Tourney victory in most years, and a S 16 or better every 4 to 5 years.

Tubby has won one NCAA Tourney game in the past ten years (very likely soon to be 11 years). Unless something dramatically different happens (not probable at Tubby's age), Tubby has proven he cannot win sufficiently without talent. Connor is an interesting prospect, but he is only a 3 star not courted by traditionally strong programs. It is unfair to expect him to carry the program to meet the acceptable standard. He needs help and the help takes the form of talented 4 and 5 star recruits. There will be little off-season peace for Tubby until he recruits up to the level needed to acheive the Memphis standard.

Coach Cal took 4 star kids and coached them to play like 4 star kids.
Your last coach took 4/5star kids and coached em down to play like 3 star kids. Tubby wants star kids that fit his system and coach em up to play like 4 star kids.

Time will tell if he can do that.

Vanover Tuesdays

Not the same ring as Tacko Tuesdays

Well stated.

That's just not how it's been done here the last few decades because of the local, talent rich environment.

High fliers draw crowds and tons of attention.

The past indicates failure. He failed to retain 4 star talent (the four 4 star players he inherited are gone) and the lowly rated talent he recruited over the last ten years failed to produce results acceptable at Memphis. Hopefully, the future will improve upon the past.
