In response to MrPhillie
Yes, I do believe that the same group promoted Davis. But consider:
1) Davis already had a great resume here as Asst. to Pat Flannery, which included recruiting.
2) Davis had a a couple of steller seasons at Randolph-Macon, winning big time.
So at the time it looked like John Hardt had made a good choice? And Davis delivered with his inherited (perhaps all time best) team including Foulland, Brown and Thomas!
What the national press is missing in their reports, showing their ignorance and investigation failure is that, YES, Davis won big with the Paulsen recruited players right away!
However once they graduated, we mostly got second tier, bench warmers here, with the result that the program has fallen lower and lower each succeeding year? Was it fault of Harrison and staff? Nonetheless, Davis is head coach and was responsible.
It's been Recruiting, not Coaching that got BU into last place in the Patriot League and now, unfortunately, discouraged too many fans.
Nights of 2500 fans excited to see Bucknell play are reduced to 500, 700, etc. Gonna be a hard road to get them back.
Poor Screen is victim of this system, as he likely has more talent to show, given his size, but to date, we haven't been able to capitalize on it?
