[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1296423, member: 4069"] But it was beautiful to watch with Self's recruits. I think that says a lot about how bad a recruiter Weber is. He landed some elite players, but had a hard time getting elite players that he could motivate and could execute his system. Ultimately, I would argue that Groce was even worse, although they're both bad enough that I would not care to argue the point. I expect BU to be better at coaching and roster construction simply because the guy has confidence in his system and isn't going to make bad compromises. Whether or not he can make a leap to the level of guys we want is TBD. I could see him being a Bo Ryan type of recruiter. When I say that, I mean a guy that gets what looks like decent talent on paper, but performs above consensus rating. That, and I'm hoping he occasionally gets an elite player. [/QUOTE]
