2nd place for McDuffie would still be a huge moral victory.

Walsh601 {l Wrote}:Wait, are you telling me a MAC coach that has never won an NCAA Tourney game is having trouble closing out elite recruits?!?!? When will BC finally learn that you get what you pay for.

He's already closed out two recruits that are ranked higher than McDuffie in Diallo and Turner.
Imagine having a guy like Howland or Pearl at the helm with Spinelli and Murphy doing the dirty work.
Maybe BC will put it all together one day and realize that you can hire an elite HC and that elite HC can hire elite recruiters.
BC is on the cheap.
Still have to give JC his time and see how it all unfolds.

How do we even know that BC lost out to Wichita State? Sounds like it was Wichita State, SMU, VCU, and BC in that order. BC swooped in late.

BTW, the staff put all of their eggs in one basket, and there's no backup plan for Sharma and McDuffie.
Smart plan by the $1 million dollar plus HC and his two $500K assistants.

i care less about losing mcduffie than I do the pants on head retarded way they iced out another good player and then struck out twice. you don't need to know shit about recruiting to know that's fucking awful

This shit is so fucking funny. We told Falzone to go screw because we liked McDuffie better and to get a better in with Sharma's AAU coach... and then we landed neither. Fucking. Clown. Shoes.

holy fucking clown shoes, I knew that was going to happen as soon as we told Falzon to screw. Jim "C as in Clownshoes" Christian

Everyone did this same thing when Addazio first got here and whiffed on his first 5 recruits. Now he's the best coach we've had in 10 years.

Why don't we just relax and give it some time before pushing the panic button before he coaches a single game. Act like you've been there

1. I've already said I'm not sold on adaziani yet
2. i don't think many people on this board would say he's the best coach we've had in the last decade
3. i think very few people had concerns about adazianis recruiting as a whole

This guy makes me look smarter and smarter every day.

Again, on to Plan C.

Are you guys really this ignorant? How can you expect a coach who has been recruiting a guy for a few months to beat out schools who have been on him for years?

j brooks is right, you guys need to calm down, or even more just stop posting. if you want to be mad we stopped recruiting falzon then ok but he's done a good job so far. he got diallo who was a big time player.

if the 2016 and 2017 class is weak then you can, but until then just stop

Judging from the combined 43 posts from the you guys, you havent been here long enough to be jaded. I am happy to give JC 2 seasons to bring in recruits and I am dying to see how he coaches in games. If he teaches ANY defense we will win a few more games.

JC is bearing the brunt of years of shitty decisions by BC being cheap and DeFilippo being the stupidest AD in the country for his last few years.

I've been a reader for a few years now. Don't post much because the topic never stays on basketball very long.

agreed.

This is a ridiculous persecution of a guy who has been here for 6 months. And the worst part about it is that for the next two years every time we lose a game or lose out on a recruit it's gonna be "I told you so" but they won't say jack if we win.

has there been much to post about related to basketball in the last couple years, jacob dylan?

What's the plan now, anyone know? Is it find a different 2015 forward or will they go after poaching a decommit/fill gaps with transfers and then go after 2016 PFs?

is there a murphy whos a 2015?

actually ive been extremely complementary of adaziani and i hated the hire.

i think i speak for most of us when i say were more than happy to admit when were wrong, were just usually right.

Well... the good thing about Christian is that if he sucks over the next 2 years he will quickly scamper back to whatever MAC job opens up that year to stay ahead of the firing squad.

Are there any seniors left at Brighton High who haven't committed yet?

Seriously fuck Jim Christian.

I'm not watching a single game until he is fired.

I might agree with you guys if there was a reason to give a shit about BC hoop.

For the record, Militant's attempt to compare JC to Daz is weak. By this point in Daz's cycle he had already landed Outlow and Strachan.

I don't get the hate towards Christian. Hate Bates for the hire, but Christian is just a guy that interviewed for a job at a higher level and (somehow) got it.

i view it as hating christian for being paid a sum that he is not earning.

that said, do we have confirmation as to what place we finished for mcduffie or sharma? if we were second or maybe even third... it might make me feel better about the hire

Sure, but if someone offers me more than I'm worth, I'm still going to take it. It's the fault of whoever is signing the checks/hired me.

There is less competition for recruits in football. 120 Div 1 football programs (about 60 in power 5) vs. over 300 in Div 1 basketball. Also, while fan support for BC football isn't great, basketball is a complete disaster. It is the third sport on campus. BC football is simply an easier sell than BC basketball. That being said, Christian has already landed Diallo, Turner (offers from Stanford, Iowa St. and Arizona St.) and Milon (offers from FSU and Stanford).

BC football is an easier sell because its simply a better program. There's 1/3 less teams in football, but there are 8 times the roster spots to fill. 330 D1 hoop programs x 3 annual recruits is 990 scholarship athletes. 120 D1 football programs x 21 annual players is 2520 scholarship athletes.
