Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. Now I don't know why you guys fired a 20 win coach however with what is going on with this team I would be worried. Majerus at his best would have two types of games early in the year. Close games against teams you should blow out, which is why I wouldn't be so worried about a game like Long Beach St. But in games against good teams, Ricks teams would always hang around, I could coun't the blowouts we suffered under Rick on one hand. Now you guys are approaching that in one season. My concern, either Rick doesn't have it any more or, he's not going to want to deal with what it will take to get it done and he'll bail. I've just never seen his teams have results like this
  2. No because Keith was the kind of player who thrived on that kind of thing. However it doesn't work for every one and towards the end it didn't work for almost anyone. Like I said Rick at his best understands the game better than almost anyone. I'd like to see his legacy go out on top with you guys instead of faking a heart attack and escaping into the night like he did at Utah.
  3. I was curious how Rick was being accepted over here and after reading I thought I might be able to offer some insights. FWIW I'm a Utah fan. As for how our fanbase feels about Rick, 1/2 worship him still believe he could do no wrong and 1/2 utterly hate him. While I don't hate him, I'm glad he's gone. I think the biggest thing to wonder about is which Rick is now coaching at St. Louis, the Rick before 1998 while an ass is a coaching genius. The Rick after 1998 was a bitterman who lost his touch in recruiting, ran off stars (Including nearly forcing Andrew Bogut to quit) alienated every friend he had around the program and was essentially the reason for our collaspe in hoops. As for that very nice recruiting class you have coming next year be aware that one or two of them won't finish. Rick ran off one or two recruits every year. Further as for the personal attacks on players on the radio, that is how Rick does business. He would spend entire radio shows attacking Keith Van Horn. However if he's put aside some of his stuff, and you get the guy we had up until 1998, I don't know if there is a better coach in college basketball. If there are any other questions I'll be glad to answer.
