In my opinion the answer to our recruiting stems from our pace of play first and foremost, we need to speed the game up. This will bring back the Hoya defense/offence that teams have feared in the past. Secondly, we've had far too many set backs these past six years and no consistency on several fronts. We've had assistant coaches changes just about every two years, academic ineligibility, transfers, a poor practice facility, and health issues. Just half of these problems alone is a lot to over come. So I'm hoping that this years healthy team can hit their stride and stay healthy going into the post season to the tournament. How fast does Butler play Teddy?

Question Re: assistant coach turnover rate at GU - obviously we have had a lot of assistant coach changes over the last decade. I sense, but don't know for sure, that this is more the norm than the exception these days. Am I correct?

Beating out the likes of Florida, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Virginia Tech for Obinna, Vanderbilt has now put together a strong three-person class. The first year staff in Nashville has already landed high upside guard Saben Lee and explosive wing Maxwell Evans. Add the top-100 big man to the mix and Vanderbilt should be very optimistic for its future ahead during the new era under the tutelage of Bryce Drew. What has Vanderbilt won lately? They did just make the NCAA tournament and have two first round draft picks last year. We need to win to help recruiting because our product on the court hurts us in recruiting right now. It's not the only way to recruit, but it will go a long way for us in our specific situation. Not only do we need to win, but we need to do so with an improved product. Vanderbilt also has a brand new coaching staff and it's easy to recruit when you first get to a place.

How fast does Butler play Teddy? Not real sure but fast enough to get by us last year. Looking at a lot of lasts years games on DVR, we held the ball far too much at the top of the key and didn't hustle enough. We lost a close game to Providence only because we waited till the second have to hustle. Seton Hall, Nova, Radford, Monmouth and the list just seems to go on, all of these teams were just to fast for us last year. Our game needs more fluidity at both ends of the court and I hope these new guards can provide that atmosphere.

I sense, but don't know for sure, that this is more the norm than the exception these days. Am I correct? Haven't tracked the percentage of coaching change throughout the NCAAM so I can only assume that it's more the norm only if the assistant is taking a head coach position. If not we're just playing musical chairs for a paycheck.

How'd the recruiting go in the spring/summer/fall of 2015 for the staff? I love the kid they did get but he probably would have committed in May if they offered.. Vanderbilt was left with a pretty solid roster, the cupboard is far from bare imo..
