I agree with you about recruiting. Recruiting needs a total staff effort and a bit of luck, especially with the state of D1 basketball today. Just a couple observations - both Tosan and Xaverian Lee were only offered by Princeton. Hard work by their staff? Maybe - but it just as well might be a bit of luck. When Fran Dunphy was our coach, I used to hear from a few people very close to the program that he would only make an effort if Penn was at or near the top of a potential recruit’s list. Fran didn’t think Earl Hunt was a guy that could help Penn. He also failed to recruit Louis Dale who had sent him his tape. Is there a lesson here? - perhaps it’s that anecdotal evidence doesn’t tell a very complete story - about Fran or about Steve. What we know is that this season was a misery and that results the past few years aren’t consistent with what we’ve come to expect. I think at a minimum all of us think certain things need to be tweaked. Others think more radical changes are in order. I’m sort on the fence right now. |
