Is there news on Sharma? There is supposedly someone on the EA BB board saying that he has dropped BC. I can't find anything online. Though it seems Wisco just picked up a PF. Adding everything up (coupled with his dad's job transfer)... it would suggest that his last visit won his services.

Onto Plan C (i.e. Donahue level recruits.). Can't wait

No one could be worse than beeker.

The current class would have been one of beeker's best efforts, without landing anyone else.

That's not good. Its like saying Beeker's classes would've been #1 in the NESCAC. The current class is not good in the realm of the conference we play in. I feel like people forget around here that we play in the ACC...

[ATLeagle]

I don't want to rationalize JC's mediocre recruiting so far, but I don't think they are worried about losing Sharma. I think they would rather load up on transfers.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

I feel like people forget around here that we play in the ACC...

That's why we keep you around.

[hinghameagle]

ATL: you don't like this class as currently constituted? Does adding McDuffie do anything for you, if it happens?

I hate agreeing with eepstein0 but I have to in this case.

So we're going to suck this year and next? Seems like a good strategy for a new coach.

The transfer thing has worked (see Iowa St)

[twballgame9]

I'd also note that an obscure thing called "playing defense" will instantly make this team a lot better with no recruits. Adding a rim protector, teaching defense and instilling some offensive principles beyond "dribble off your foot" and "chuck threes" will go a long way.

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. Now all of a sudden the deepest basketball recruiting area in the country over the past couple of years gets ignored for transfers?

Sounds like an excuse.

[JesuitIvy]

Yeah, this is starting to feel a lot like Donahue -- ignoring locals, rejecting committed 4 star kids. It reeks of trying to make sure you have enough excuses to stay employed the length of your contract.

don't forget, atl also thinks Ryan Day is Chip Kelly 4.0.

[BCEagles25]

if we strike out on Sharma and McDuffie, I think we should take Miller. if nothing else, he is an ACC level backup. and maybe he'll live up to his four-star potential. low risk considering there's 7 spots to fill and only 3 of them are occupied.

[ATLeagle]

I don't know enough about any recruits to know if this class is any good. With McDuffie it would seem good on paper.

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.

This is like Texas hiring a shitty football coach and deciding to go the JUCO route because the shitty coach cant' close local prospects.

Excuses.

Does this surprise anyone? This was a crappy hire from the beginning so hearing shit like this is what I would expect from MR. .500 at TCU.

I wont delve into sirius bizness but this absolutely shouts agenda from Mo'JTL

You mean Mrs. Chip Kelly 4.0 might have agenda?

[commavegarage]

You mean hiring good assistants and a dogshit head coach leads to the assistant coaches doing a good job on the recruiting trail and the head coach doing a dogshit job of closing?!?!?!?

TELL ME MORE!!!

Are you sitting down?

There was an article in yesterday's Herald with quotes from said dogshit head coach about how good Dennis Clifford looks.

[commavegarage]

unbelievable.

“I think he’s the most mentally tough guy that we’ve got, to come back from those injuries,” Christian said. “It’s not an easy thing for anybody to do, but to me, he’s back full-go. He’s been great. He understands his body and he competes everyday.”

[Cadillac90]

I hope everyone doesn't get too excited when they go 15-15 this year and say "you see, Coach Jim is a really good coach, look what he did with an 8 win team."

[Boston College 8]

can people be like other boards and just be positive about this team. we are getting better recruits than the last 4 plus years. does anyone else see that. right now turner, milon, and robinson is a solid class. an acc class. can everyone just be happy for once.

[Boston College 8]

yeah and if we get mcduffie this would be our best class since 2008. if we get Sharma and Mcduffie it would be our best class since the 1990's. and that is in year ONE. does anyone get that. give me a break. if you're already saying he's a bad coach or a bad recruiter just get off this site. do something better with your time than complain about this team. if you're gonna be on this then be positive for once.

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.

I, for one, welcome Coach Pitino to EO. Pull up your pants, I mean, a chair.
