Until he SIGNS a Top 25 class he is a potentially good recruiter in my opinion.

Just wanted to finish that statement for you.

I already think Coach O is a great recruiter which is my opinion and shared by others. You believe he is just a good recruiter until he can sign a top 25 class. That is your opinion and some might share that same opinion but not all. Your original statement lumped everybody together in that belief which just isn't true.

Thus far he has recruited players to play for Calipari and the university of KENTUCKY. While expectations are understandably high, it's not really a hard sell to the best players.

He doesn't have that this go-around. He's selling kids on HIS and USF's potential, not Cal's and not UK's.

He has had some successes, sure, but it's apples and oranges now, and with this in mind we get to see whàt he can do off the court and on, because it is an open debate, not a closed one, as to how great of a recruiter he is, or can be.

He also recruited at Memphis and at Pitt. His brother recruited for Seton Hall. I know Coach Calipari, have for a while which is why he's my favorite head coach in all of basketball. He does not hire assistants that can't recruit period. Josh Pastner at Memphis is the best example of this. The coaching has come into question but not the recruiting abilities of his assistants. Now Coach O suppose to be the one Calipari assistant that can also be a good floor coach. That's the only thing he has to prove to me as my confidence in Coach Cal also gave me confidence that Coach O can recruit before he started showing that at USF.

 

 

Btw Coach Cal hired Antigua'a replacement at UK. Barry "Slice" Rohrssen is his name and he's from Pitt to. Pitt has been good to Coach Cal. Coach Slice specialty is "recruiting."
