I was just telling another board member today that I had a feeling he wouldn't be here much longer and was looking for him to be gone by this time next year.
Terrible blow but I can't say I'm surprised.
Without him, our staff is LACKING on the road right now.
JTIII needs to hit a grand slam with this hire.

I would have to imagine that Broadus is going to be back on the trail, but oh man this hurts. Kirby was a tremendous asset to our program, and we're going to miss him.

Broadus by himself is not going to be good enough. Replacing one great recruiter with another is okay - at least not a step back - but there needs to be another shakeup. Staff was lacking with Kirby.

Hope there is no roster fallout following this move. Seems unlikely, but who knows?

Oh, nooooo!
Head coach? If so, congratulations to him.

So now what is stopping JTIII from moving BOTH Broadus and Othella to go out on the trail?

No congrats from me. This is a lateral move at best for him. Why is he leaving? We definitely shelled out the money. This kills any momentum we had going. Sure, we can slot Broadus is in but that's nowhere near enough.

Agreed with daymond. I really don't see how this is a step up for him. All I can say is thanks for landing Otto and Tyler.

Family reasons maybe? Is it possible he felt like he was banging his head against the wall with many of these kids?

Prue is long gone.
Enj, I think that's worth considering. Distance with southern kids is a big hurdle, easier sell at LSU.

Huge loss. We need a hired gun to head our recruiting. Someone with strong AAU ties not named Broadus.

So now what is stopping JTIII from moving BOTH Broadus and Othella to go out on the trail? Wrong idea - we should poach someone else's Kirby for connections rather than move guys who haven't been on the trail ever (Othella) or for years (Broadus). The great thing about Kirby was all of the current connections he had because he was a current recruiter coming in. |
