[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1305242, member: 7292"] Your assumption is that Antigua alone is fairly adequate for recruiting and getting the talent needed. I disagree. Even with Antigua and the rest of the recruiting-focused staff, I still do not believe it is guaranteed that that we will get talent. As I said, if Underwood does not succeed, it would be because we could still not get the talent level that we needed, not because we got great talent but failed on the court. The big difference is that Gentry can't recruit off-campus. He can pretty much do everything else as far as players on campus and in practice. So if you wanted Gentry for his other services (as you said balance, not focused on recruiting), not sure what we would be missing with him still on staff. Even if you believe in the exceptional talent of Gentry, the problem would have been if you could not get him unless you offered him an assistant coach position. We got him. [/QUOTE]
