Kavaliauskas wasn't even rated. Would you take him or Legion???

 

 

Hindsight is 20/20 gt...you know that.

What does "working out" have to do with landing a big time recruit??? I know it is more important to have a good player on your team that works out, I know that's what Crean and Gillispie want, but I also know that beating out Michigan, Kansas, and UCLA for a basketball player is more impressive and shows more recruiting ability then landing a guy who only has 1 chance to go to school for free and play basketball.

North Carolina

Purdue

USC

Wisconsin

Florida

Illinois

 

Commitment quote. Novak said he also considered Illinois and Florida. "I really liked Florida a lot," Novak said. "But I think what the coaches have done at Marquette has been so great the last couple of years."

 

Others recruiting Novak from his Rivals database. I'm sure Marquette was the only place he could have played D1... :lol:

Read the articles. He had offers from Illinois and Florida. UNC came in late, and hadn't offered because they wanted to evaluate him more. That's why you don't go off a 6 year old database without doing more reading...

Alright, i'm tired of fighting with you. It's clear to me that i'm not changing your mind, and you definitely aint changing mine. Can we both agree that these 2 guys can both recruit good players to come play for them, and they both are going to recruit even better with the school name on the front of the jersey. I think they will both do well at their respective institutions, and the UK IU rivalry will heat up in the near future.

Make a case for Crean then GT? I would say its pretty close either way.

I think both are about even across the board. That's all I'm getting at...

I don't think he's clearly better than Gillispie in recruiting. So what case would you like me to make???

Crean, any day of the week..

 

Crean was 190-96 at Marquette, and 90-56 in conference play(C-USA and Big East).

 

In 9 years at Marquette he led them to post season play 8 times(NIT 3 times). He got them to the Final 4 in 2002-2003.

 

Crean is a really great coach, I like his style a lot. He is turning IU around..

How is he turning them around.. I have seen almost zero success this year, and he's signed three four stars and no recruits for years afetr 2009. IMO it's a long way be fore IU is back. CUSA is not compatible with major confrences unless your name is Memphis..

Back then C-USA was a heck of a lot better than the SEC is right now, what is your point?

What does "working out" have to do with landing a big time recruit???

Tubby had Top 5-10 classes that didn't work out, how'd that end up for him?

It worked out well. He got to retire to Minnesota! :laugh:

Yeah maybe this year, because the SEC is way down this year. But over the years the SEC and Big 12 (TAMU) were better confrences.
