[QUOTE="BashCtIllini, post: 1704126, member: 748491"] They hired a guy with no experience because he is a local legend. He cheated to get those stud recruits, and now that everyone can pay players, recruiting doesn't look so promising. They ran a potential Hall of Fame coach in Tubby Smith out after 2 years. Memphis did this themselves. Others are right. They need to bring in an old experienced guy to be the actual coach and let Penny be the figurehead, or he's got to go. His record has got 1 game worse each year, despite a ton of talent. No NCAA tournament appearances. If they want to win, they should probably find a coach that knows what he's doing. The recruiting will be interesting. Their 2022 class is one guy ranked over 200. Looking at their 2023 prospects, it looks like they're in on a lot of 5 star guys but may realistically get 1 at best. After that, it could be another bad class. Penny's coaching without an extreme talent advantage is going to create some pretty ugly records. [/QUOTE]
