BGleas Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 At some point Buzz is going to pay for all the lateral job hoping. If I'm recruiting against him, I'm playing that card pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm recruiting against him, I'm telling kids that you have no idea if he'll be the head coach at Illinois, Washington State or somewhere else before you graduate.

ThePaulieWalnuts Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Dixon (most likely) to UCLA. Very underwhelming (whole conference is underwhelming tbh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Listening to CBS radio at lunch and was discussing why Williams is leaving these schools after a few years. I guess he thinks that coaches shouldn't stay at one place to long because eventually they will tune you out and you will eventually get fired. the announcers think that eventually Williams will get the job he wants for his career and then stay there.

BobSaccamanno Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 If Dixon goes to UCLA (and at one point he was a hot rising name; I think his name was being kicked around when we got Sampson), I wonder if Bane gets annoyed and considers a grad transfer. Don’t kill my fantastical speculation too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of program history, agreed. But, VT gets to ride the coattails of the ESPN/ACC lovefest in terms of exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Marquette has more Sweet Sixteen appearances in their history than Va Tech does overall tournament appearances. Marquette is a way better program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got out before he was forced out at Marquette. There was a lot of grumbling around campus and among the leadership at Marquette at the time. Rumors of player sexual assault coverups, etc. A new AD, or some other higher up, was coming in and the word was he was going to get fired after this person to the position. He is also one to recruit dirty. He literally told Brad Stevens that this isn’t the horizon league anymore, you’re going to have to get dirty like the rest of us. Brad went back to the locker room after this happened and told the entire staff what was said. He couldn’t believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know that I agree, but I can see where you’re coming from especially given the changes to the Big East. 10 years ago when the Big East still had Cuse, UConn, Pitt was strong, WVA, etc., Marquette was definitely the better job. The Big East not being what is was probably levels this discussion a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Va Tech is a football school playing in a basketball conference. Their facilities, including the arena they play in, are woefully outdated. Given the amount of money brought in by Power 5 conferences, that is unacceptable. Marquette is a basketball only school. Its athletic resources are first and foremost going to be spent on the basketball program. Yes, the Big East does not hold the cache that the ACC does from an overall standpoint, but we did have one of their schools win two of the last 3 tournaments. Not like the Big East is a slouch.

I believe it's because of recruiting that Stevens left the college game and is unlikely to return. I can't blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
