Recruiting specialist??

[uky8unc5]

Give Cal a Sports Network (espn) and litter the screen with alumni commentators (Bilas, Williams, Dookie V by default, etc).....
And toss in prominent national sportswriters who slurp K's Kool Aid like he is the reincarnation of Jesus.....
And allow Cal to cheat and break rules knowing the NCAA will wink and turn their heads.....
Then put Cal's team in tournament brackets that pave a golden path to the Final Four....

Do that and you can replace our assistant coaches with the 3 stooges.

Recruiting by the numbers does not guarantee post season results. Just ask the dookies!

I think Cal currently has some issues to resolve, but this line of thinking shortchanges a strength of his. If WE get those guys (Bagley, Barrett, Willamson, etc), I have complete faith that we would have hung another banner by now. Handling and developing young superstars = Cal > Coach Rat by a mile.

Well I’ll clean that up so everyone gets it.

1. We do need the cream of the crop within our system if we want to win a title if guys aren’t going to return at a good rate.

2. We need returning players to win a title. This was evident after we won the title due to the nba lockout. Not so much about upperclassman as returning players.

3. If they’re not as advertised, they should be recruited over. If they’re not as advertised (SKJ) then they shouldn’t be depended on. Sometimes a transfer is healthy if they’re recruited over and not as advertised. Recruiting over players is what great coaches do, but be careful you aren’t over recruiting a guy who will be a key contributor. Example? You don’t recruit over Darius Miller to the point he wants to transfer.

Mix that in a bowl and what comes out is what we need.

Kool Aid!

I love "we need top 5 recruits to win" "we need 3 to 4 year guys to win" "be glad when that player leaves" "why does Cal recruit over players". and all get likes from same people
its crazy, you cant make this stuff up.

So we need to recruit the same players that Morehead State recruits. Keep them 4 years. How many final fours does Morehead have?

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Great question! The situation is very complicated and with more than a few moving parts.

I mean, you seem to think it’s needed. Are you not able to answer your own question lol?

Culture; The attitudes, mindset, and behavior characteristics of a particular social group.

Funny, I thought you were using this definition;

"maintain in conditions suitable for growth."

'Cause" Cal is maintaining the conditions suitable for growth. Some grow faster than others but those who remain with Cal through the process have all grown..

 

[BBUK_anon]

So who should we fire and hire instead wise assistant?

yes, while at the same time getting at least 4 top twenty guys every year, and then have the bench guys transfer,
because they are taking up schollies (and trash, compared to the five star players)..
.and there may be a mid-year player we need;
and then Cal needs to keep a full bench for better practices and just in case someone gets hurt.


well, we only need an 8 man rotation; unless 9-10 is needed, of course,

Ole "Morg", Elliott is not sure what he means...(Don't tell him, I'm just messing with him.)

Rod Strickland ain't walking through that door. Because he is the G league man now cmon down! Get paid, F college!

I really think Coach Cal could take UK to the next level by bringing in some sort of recruiting specialist. Maybe it’s an NBA retired player, possibly an assistant coach.

Coach Cal can’t do this all by himself. Since Orlando bolted he has been relying on his current staff. Don’t give me wrong, we are still bringing in highly talented good character kids who can ball out. I just think in order for us to land the top-tier echelon of kids in that number 1 through number 5 ranking some things might need to be shaken up.

That being said, I believe that some sort of recruiting specialist is needed.

Cal doesn’t need a recruiting anything. Just a little patience (same as the Kentucky “faithful”)

If Kentucky is clean, and I believe they are, when the dirty schools get hammered, there will be plenty of recruits for you.

 

[billCgmx]

Lack of talent isn't the issue here.

Glory be, Cal isn't recruiting well enough? smgdh

This post makes my face hurt.

If all things were equal, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, if you know what I mean...

I feel you are right on the money! This is sad but unfortunately true.

If you read what I wrote you would see that wasn’t what I said. We get great kids who are phenomenal Players. I was referring to the next level athletes ranked like 1 or 2 that can come in and absolutely Dominate.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Is this an April fool's joke? Lord, I hope so.

If we were getting the Marvin Bagley, Zion’s, etc we would have hung more banners. We still get great kids who are really good, just not great.

I figured as much but I was just messing with you. It's been hard to find people to mess with lately and I stretched it out a bit.

It didn’t help K, in fact he couldn’t even get to a FF so there’s a problem with your theory.

You can always mess with me John. I'm crazy and love being messed with most of the time. Just don't pick one of those times that I don't want to be messed with and you will be fine. Now that I think about it, I'm sure when those times are but I'll let you know.

The post is ridiculous and just downright comical, no offense. You don't bring in a recruiting specialist when you consistently have the No. 1 or 2 class in the country year-in and year-out. Furthermore, you don't bring in a recruiting specialist to land just one or two top 5 players.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

All I’m saying is when Coach Cal gets those type of players he usually does something very special. Rat face is just terrible

Just curious could you explain why not? Yes we are getting phenomenal players, but we are missing on the best of the best that can dominate the game. Coach Cal is the best recruiter in the game, but he cannot be everywhere all the time. You have to have a good support staff. I’m not saying that we don’t, I’m just saying maybe we could use a fresh face.

 

[thebluestripes]

So if nike is now handing other schools the very top tier guys, then why is cal still recruiting them? Seems rather foolish

You just stated Cal is the best recruiter in the game, yet believe he needs to bring in a recruiting specialist to get what you define as the best of the best? How do you not find that comical? Cal has two top 10 players in the 2019 class, with one being the No. 1 player at his position. Cal doesn't need any help recruiting and has landed great players before with no "specialist". He doesn't need one now.

have you ever noticed that Cal "backs off" some top guys...then, this board goes nuts,,,then, (some now) its found out that there were/are shenanigans

$$$$ A recruiting specialist ain't going to help with that
