Our NEW Basketball HC is....

That is more than I thought we'd be paying him.

We are competing against UCF who has 9 FL players on their roster. 3 of their top 4 scorers are from Orlando

And 8 of them were there last year and got their coach fired. If our new coach can mine FL, great, but it's not a priority, getting players in here that can play is.

I can only speculate how many possible coaches may have turned us down.

This probably only adds to that speculation

Or how many possible coaches they could have gotten interest from since they were more then capable of putting a good package deal together. 

    Patience like life....good things come to those who just have the patience to wait. We'll see if the opposite takes place here.

Our dumpster fire is more of an oil well fire. We shoulda called Red Adair...

obviously you want the best players.

here is a map of where recruits come from geographically . notice how most of them come from mid-atlantic states. also note where the majority of players in a conference come from their surrounding states.

I'm not saying you need to recruit your state exclusively but it's dumb to almost ignore it entirely.

This was from 2014 and it says 223 players came from the state of Florida.

it says that only Texas(21) had more recruits in the AAC than Florida(16). it said we had 4 of them.

Normally I'd tend to agree with that philosophy but in this situation, where you've got supposed rumblings of a mass exodus and no committed recruits, you need someone ASAP to come in and start working on it. Nobody available now, or 2 or 3 weeks from now, was going to be able to come in, wave a magic wand and get this thing back on track. 2 or 3 years from now we'll find out how good a hire this is.

I hope they didn't make this hire based on availability. this program is in shambles. not sure there is anything worth saving. I hope they weren't thinking short term.
