Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. They said that in previous years. I wasnt talking about after the fact. I know Kenpom is one thing they also consider, among others I am sure, and Bona was #79 in KenPom. Butler was 40. Temple was the worst KenPom ranked team to get an at large at #86. I dont pretend to completely understand KenPom rankings and how that all works, I know it takes a lot of different factors into account, and by most opinions is a way better measure than the RPI.
  2. Just seems odd out of all the teams to complain about Butler being the first. Unless he complained about others first and I missed it.
  3. Not to mention I am seeing Butler at 56 in RPI and 4 teams below them in the RPI who got in: Michigan, Tulsa, Temple, Vandy. Not sure what your obsession with Butler is?
  4. You are focusing way to much on the RPI. That might be true in a previous world but the committee has stated they are looking at other measures as well, the RPI is a piece but not the end all be all. Especially just looking solely at a teams overall RPI.
  5. Yeah I dont get the Butler hating on being in? They has 3 top 25 RPI wins, 4 in the top 50. They also had zero "bad" losses. Bona definitely got screwed but it wasnt bc Butler got in. Having 2 sub 150 losses to Duquesne and Lasalle I;m sure hurt pretty bad too.
  6. I guarantee there were more Purdue fans than Butler fans in Indy. Do you realize how small Butler is?
  7. Yeah Butler is way down the list when talking about questionable teams, if on it at all.
  8. Butler won @UC and beat Purdue on neutral court. That is 2 better wins away from home than probably half the field. What are you talking about?
  9. Agree about the recycle route. I think Underwood would be a very god hire.
  10. Travis Steele would be a really good hire if they went assistant route. Great recruiter. No head coaching experience may be a downside. If Mack ever leaves XU Steele would get a long look but might not be quite ready for that level yet, especially with no HC experience.
  11. Crews has been so bad and fans are so desperate for anyon else that it is blinding them into thinking retreads like Weber and Lavin would be good hires.
  12. If mediocrity is your goal Lavin would be great. He has a name because he is on TV. He is a good recruiter but he did nothing with some really good talent at St. Johns.
  13. Lavin would be an awful hire. He can't coach his way out of a paper bag. I like him as a studio guy and he is a decent recruiter but he is a bad coach.
  14. Yeah he was very successful at VCU, but he did have 2 guys on his roster who were 1st round NBA picks. Wonder if he recruited them? Maybe he would do well again at a school with no football where basketball takes precedence.
