[QUOTE="STLINI, post: 1305313, member: 2280"] I would fully expect Gentry to be involved in which players they need to land to fit this system. And then he will communicate those needs to the guys that are in charge of landing them. There's no evidence that Gentry should be handling any more of a role than he has in the past. You say you want people in positions that helped lead to BU's success, then that's exactly what he is doing with Gentry. Just because a guy is great in one position, doesn't mean he would be equally effective in another. Underwood had a ton of success at SFA, and the only assistant that came with him to OSU was Boynton. He greatly improved OSU with 2 brand new assistants. The common denominator is obviously BU. In a perfect world, yeah I would love it if there was an assistant that knew BU's system, could recruit, and was gettable. Unfortunately Lamont Evans didn't meet the "gettable" portion of that equation. [/QUOTE]
