[QUOTE="Ga65, post: 1447075, member: 610685"] In terms of recruiting BU gets an A from me. When you have possible BIG all freshmen in Ayo and Giorgi and a talent like Tevian in one class you are getting it done. Some people were worried when BU was hired that he had the assistants to teach his system. That was very valid and probably has been the source of our impatience. However his Mgmt decisions in hiring assistants that were recruiters is looking like an excellent long term decision. Still hasn't proven he can coach IMO but it sure looks like he is putting the pieces in place. I probably have always looked at it from having five starters. It appears to me that he looks for a variety of parts that can be mixed and matched to compete with any matchup. Samba and Kofi for example are completely different players at the same position but will be used very differently in his system. Still an optimist but finding it difficult the past two years.
