Princeton Offense holds back recruiting? Agree?

If all of these perceptions of Hunter/Brennan are true then it really reflects poorly on JT3's management skills.

Is he really that out of touch that he doesn't know how his assistants are being viewed by coaches, players and family members of recruits his program is trying to land?

Bottom line is if these guys are that bad JT3 should know it and address it. No one else has the authority to make changes but him.

Brennan makes sense if you are willing to admit you run a Princeton offensive system--but he gets all angry with that notion that Georgetown does-so why is Brennan around? He has no presence on recruiting trail--and if you aren't operating the system that you get upset when people say you are-then what's hard about making a decision to rid yourself of a guy like Brennan? He brings you nothing on trail. So X/O wise must be reason. Georgetown can't afford to waste 1 of their 3 assistants who recruit being a "strategist". That should be the Broadus role from this past year, not one of your active recruiting guys.

Hunter--all I can say is that people I spoke with last weekend and that are located in his recruiting "region" weren't very excited about Georgetown at all and had issues with the "system". It's an assistant's job to smooth that over and show the strengths, Hunter hasn't done that--at least with these guys.

So you have III/Broadus currently at Real Deal event in Arkansas tonight (no issue there since Hoyas will sign a smaller class as of now and Hoyas were at EYBL last weekend--but want to get Broadus wherever you will have your high targets since he's going to have to do the role of Kirby-which is be the main recruiter and until III makes a change--he'll have to do work of not just HC on trail--but 2 assistants--so 2 coaches doing work of 4 while other 2 are out and about doing nothing that makes a difference. Hunter's had time to step up and nothing to show for it. Brennan is at a disadvantage from fact he has no ties that help Georgetown and no presence. Fact he's not made one in 3 years speaks to his ability to adapt and make connections.

Knowing talent doesn't matter. Any of us can go watch good players--but can you do something that sells yourself to a player and builds a relationship so he'll take interest and give your boss a good chance of closing the recruit? With disadvantages Georgetown faces in areas, they can't afford to go out shorthanded any longer.

Oh, I see we continually think things are fine. Again.

Who cares what posters say about those 2.. Until JTIII decides to let them walk, I am going to assume JTIII is happy with them.

Why do folks connect pointing out the areas the program lacks and needs to improve on with not being a fan? Everyone here wants the program to succeed.

This thread is ridiculous. The only real difficulty we've had in the last few years has been in a one and done tournament. In fact, most year's we've exceeded expectations. Last year, we started unranked and no one thought we'd make the tournament. We fell just one game short of our projected seed (3), which was arguably undeserved, in a close loss to NC State. What has skewed things have been the early losses in 2008 and 2010. Even though we ran into the Steph Curry buzzsaw, our defense should have been better in that game. The team I thought had the best chance to return to a final four was 2010 with starters Wright, Freeman, Clark, Vaughn and Monroe, with Sims and Thompson off the bench. That was the game and the team that got away. An Elite Eight in either of those years was likely, and a reasonable expectation. An expected performance from either of those two teams (especially 2010) would end this silly debate before it even started.

The offense we've run under JTIII has been great and effective agaisnt supposedly smarter and more athletic teams. Fans and recruits over-value tournament wins, which I understand, but

I couldn't agree more munch. Run when you got it, pull it out and run a half court set when you dont. . . that's just smart winning basketball.

Since almost every NBA team uses parts of the "Georgetown" offense in their half court sets (pick and roll, give and go, back door cuts, motion, in and out, weak side swing, etc...) recruits w/ visions of the NBA should be tripping over each other to play at Georgetown.

Unfortunately, some kids just want to play AAU/high school all star game 1 on 5 ball and "break down" defenders on the dribble. Most of them would be better off rounding out their game with the additional skills/knowledge that JTIII and his "Georgetown" offense can teach.
