    I answered these debates long ago. 83% recruiting, 17% pure coaching. Which means 100% on the coach (I can show my math formula if needed) . Move on boys and girls.

    Carl on PSU, "we follow the rules, there's not a lot of that going on right now"

    Not that I'm in the wagon of folks accusing PSU of lots of NCAA violations, but that would've been a strong point....if it wasn't such a weak point.

    The 3-Point Takedown - Folkstyle's Sea Change

    Think I'd agree. It's only the truly dominant offensive finishers (or when talent differential is high between 2 guys) that yield low risk for 1 guy and lead to more offensive activity/scoring. In more even matches, high likelihood it does nothing or makes it more boring.

    Carl on PSU, "we follow the rules, there's not a lot of that going on right now"

    I won't disagree, but it's really a minor distinction. It's alot easier to pick the 'right top guy' when you often get your choice of the top 10. Whether he would be better than others at picking the right guy in the 30-50 range that becomes a true stud...well, there may never be a big enough...

    Coaching Staff Next Year

    You seem to now be talking to yourself in this thread. I've no clue why you responded to my 10-day old post that wasn't directed to you, nor do I know what the hell you're saying. I think you're in the wrong District of town tonight.

    True, but it's still 83% recruiting (incl. the iron sharpens iron part) and 17% pure coaching. The key is bringing in guys whose floor is, say, 6th place. If coaching can get a guy to bump 5 places, it's a whole lot more meaningful if the start point is 6th than if 12th. Carl and now DT are...

    Coaching Staff Next Year

    Not a problem compared to Indiana or MSU. And nobody said it was the ONLY problem for Iowa, it's clearly not IMO. But in relation to PSU and now OSU, it can be considered PART of the recent problem. I mean, if Bob is right and Iowa got no rev share last year, above-board NIL is now quite...

    *****Official 2026 NCAA Championship Thread Day 1*****

    So if final team results play out like many have projected, Iowa is underperforming their resources and ISU is overperforming. Chalk for most others in top 6. That just derailed this thread quite early.
