The same until we reach the rarified air where Duke basketball has existed for the past few decades.
For HS class of 2022 Duke has #1, #2, #4, #22, #61 and #97 (composite)
UCONN's Hurley is an a$$hole from a long family line of a$$holes.
I'm confused. One minute people quote the past as being important to these kids. The next moment, some people are saying kids don't care about anything more than 2 minutes old. Which is it?
My comment was more about RU and less about Duke. The old, "Be a part of of the first team to go to the tournament" or "Be the beginning of a change" and "Be a legend and not just a piece" just isn't going to work anymore. Geo , Ron, and Caleb did those things. Kids who commit now aren't going to be a star who builds the program. They are just another cog in the whell that keeps turning year after year. I love it because it means we've arrived (and I believe we have), but the messaging has to change.
I get what you're saying but there are a lot of firsts left.
why bring that up now? its like you want to say the most negative thing possible at any given moment.
Of course . Good example is GEO . Round of 32, with bad turnover at end of loss . Play In game against Notre dame, missed shot at end of regulation and lose in OT . But he was part of this and the turnaround . He made rutgers relevant . We love him here and his legacy is secure… imagine if a guy hits a shot to get us to sweet 16
For a lot of recruits it could be your track record over the past five years or soI'm confused. One minute people quote the past as being important to these kids. The next moment, some people are saying kids don't care about anything more than 2 minutes old. Which is it?
Hurley's hubris and his questionable game day coaching will be UConn's downfall.
I would bet big money Pike would never use that approach as a public statement
Especially when you consider the fact that it’s stolen lol!
But later Say-Say said he switched for purely 'academic' reasons implying State Penn was the better academic school.🤡
100% depends on which kid you ask. Your responses may varyI'm confused. One minute people quote the past as being important to these kids. The next moment, some people are saying kids don't care about anything more than 2 minutes old. Which is it?
I may be misunderstanding, but are you limiting it to relatively recent RU teams and players or to Pike's teams? (We reached elite 8 and final 4 in 1976, Bailey, Hinson, and Douby were first round picks, and admittedly the NBA Draft Lottery didn't exist yet in 1979, but James Bailey was the 6th pick in the first round so he might still be considered a lottery pick by some.) Again, sorry if I misunderstood.
The original post was about recruits. Mentioning that you made the final four in 1976 or that you had a first-round pick in 1979 would not be positive. If limiting it to stuff since 1980 is "fairly recent" than yes, I'd say stick to things your recruits care about when you speak with them.
Yes.I'm confused. One minute people quote the past as being important to these kids. The next moment, some people are saying kids don't care about anything more than 2 minutes old. Which is it?
An article I pulled up says he mentioned that PU would be better for his professional ambitions, may have been other reasons also
"Be a part of of the first team to go to the sweet sixteen this century."
PSU was obviously better for his professional ambitions than if he was a part of the Flood dumpsterfire downward spiral into the toilet
The shame of it was that we were the team he followed and became his dream school
But Milo, I didn't mention anything about what we should or shouldn't tell recruits, or that we should or shouldn't tell them about Bailey, Hinson, Douby, the 1976 team, etc.
