Very similar in nature, yes.


And oh my god. I can't believe he is doing this... I am in shock.

He is a great Recruiter but is he ready to run a program?

It's not that bad, but it's in the ballpark.

1. He's vastly overrated as a recruiter.
2. He's not ready to run his dad's AAU program, let alone a top 25 outfit.

Couldn't have happened to a better fan base.

Not totally against it I guess. Not sure why DK was not appraoched....but maybe he was and said no.

RC promised a "wow" hire and ended up with a "wtf" one.

Just asking, but why do you think he is a vastly overrated recruiter?

I guess is it easy to recruit when you coach with Calipari and WWW is behind you helping out.

One of my friends who goes to Memphis really likes the hire.

I wonder what Joe Jackson would think of this hire. He's bound to have met Pastner.

 

[Gcrop]

Could have been worse.

Chris Vernon in Memphis is going to have Gary Parrish on after the break to talk about it.

You need to quit hanging out with paint huffers.

Don't be so sure, yet.

Thinks it's better than Kennedy, Floyd, or Scott.

 

[hatvol96]

Just asking, but why do you think he is a vastly overrated recruiter?

Name the truly elite players he's actually recruited. He's one of these guys who gets a bunch of "name" recruits who turn out to be stiffs. His ability to evaluate talent is highly suspect.

 

[hatvol96]

Thinks it's better than Kennedy, Floyd, or Scott.

No, no, and yes.

 

[dickens821]

No, no, and yes.

At least Scott has HC experience.
