[QUOTE="TownieMatt, post: 1304845, member: 7941"] It should also be noted that Jamall's only "miss" is really Tilmon. Pickett is less a miss than a mutually agreed departure. Also a good chance both are here if Groce doesn't get canned (although not a sure thing in Tilmon's case). And given the "unique" nature of Tilmon's recruitment, it's incredibly harsh to blame those shenanigans on Jamall. From all accounts he played this one really well and Tilmon's mom absolutely loved him. Other factors won out. I suppose you are throwing Goodwin in there too, but I suspect we simply weren't willing to offer what SLU was. Jamall is a good recruiter. Full stop. He knows the STL area extremely well and will keep us in play for all the top guys in that area. Ultimately it's up to BU to close on recruits, and winning games will be a big part of that. I think we all need a little bit of perspective on this situation. Even if Coleman is hired, we'll have the following staff: - Rising HC from a P5 school with an incredibly successful track record - Nationally known recruiter who has signed some of the best classes in NCAA history - Quality STL recruiter who was highly sought after - Third assistant with very strong Chicago ties and relationships with upcoming recruits If someone would have told me that a month ago I would be ecstatic.
