If ATL is suggesting that the coaching staff is poo-poo-ing local top 100 talent like Sharma and Falzon in favor of transfers, well then I look forward to the next coaching staff, which will be here soon. The only good thing about the hiring of this underwhelming shitty basketball staff was the prospects for recruiting in the area.

Sounds like an excuse.
The gossip is that Spanelli and Murphy are recruiting hard locally but JC's not the greatest closer. I think it is a shame that we cannot do better locally.
Supposedly the transfer strategy is that you can get some older players right away and win faster. I also think like Iowa State and GW, there is the belief that with transfers you can more readily project how they will play in the ACC because you have some data about them at a high level.
I wont delve into sirius bizness but this absolutely shouts agenda from Mo'JTL
I don't know if you can call it an agenda. I think Christian is better than Don and will be an okay-ish coach and gone in a few years of his own volition. As far as me spreading rumors about Spanelli or Murphy to carry favor with them, I don't know either and haven't tried to cultivate anything from them. The gossip I get on the staff comes from people who cannot spread it themselves.

Look we all want BC to do well, but this is towards the bottom of the ACC in terms of recruiting. This class so far is hardly better than Donahue's first class. In fact, Ryan Anderson was a better prospect than any of our current commits.

I generally try to avoid becoming abusive, but demanding that posters "be positive" and "be happy" in the program's current situation is unqualifiedly infantile and/or imbecilic. The BC basketball program is presently one of the doormats of the ACC, which is the conference the all-highest rulers of BC have decreed we have to belong to in order to stroke their institutional vanity. If we care about BC athletics, we have a reasonable right (if not a duty) to complain about the athletic administration embarrassing the school in the conference's signature sport. If anyone should stop posting, it's the Pollyannas who are clearly psychologically incapable of dealing with bad news - and the news on BC basketball is bad, although (amazingly) capable of rapid and dramatic turnaround (meaning McDuffie and Sharma). Given what's happened with Terrell, Mitchell, Mann, and Falzon, however, I'm not optimistic - and those offended by my "negativity" can go perform anatomically extraordinary obscenities.

lobstalova {l Wrote}:We need to take it easy on Christian, he has been head coach for six months and has done some pretty good things so far. I would say far better than the things Donanue did in his first six months. That, to me, is reason to be happy. Not satisfied by any means but at least pleased with what has happened so far. Diallo is a good signing, I think he will be better than any player Donahue recruited. Christian's first 4 recruits (diallo, milon, robinson, turner) are much better than Donahue's first four (gave moton, danny rubin, odio, clifford) which shows progress. We don't have to be satisfied as a fan base, but we should at least be smiling at this point.
Remember overloading on the 2011 class with 7 recruits? It didn't work. So maybe taking just 4 this year is a good decision, so we can have some roster balance.

I liked addazio. I'm kind of neutral on Christian, but he's less than impressive so far and not recruiting Falzon was stupid.
