All that being said, Donahue is not an exciting hire, and it's far from a sure thing that he can compete in the ACC. I don't see how he would pull Top 100 recruits with his background and contacts.

This. Competing in the IVY league vs compteing in the ACC is Mars and Venus.

They're both planets right? Or did they get the Pluto treatment?
My major concern on Donahue is the recruiting.

I've heard he has a reputation as a solid recruiter and was in charge of recruiting as an assistant at Penn. Kind of a different ballgame coming to the ACC and being able to actually offer scholarships.

define "strong presence". Is he recruiting agasint Villanova, G-Town, and Temple? Or has he been recruting against Penn and Wagner?
And if we're hiring him based on his recruiting skills, then why not just get Coen in here. He's a proven recruiter..at the ACC level.

Valid point. I just really don't want someone within the Skinner regime.
Plus, I still believe the motion offense is so superior to the flex it's not even a competition. For those who defend the flex, please try to defend it understanding that it's an offense where the center generally pass to the PF across (horizontally) the paint in a completely predictable fashion while all the other players are below the free throw line. It's like a god damn layup line for the opposite team off steals.
Yea fine if you have Craig Smith and Jared Dudley it works fine, but so wouldn't motion or any other offense you draw up.
