BU said that some of the people calling him about the AC job "would blow your mind." At various times, there was speculation that the hire would be someone with NBA staff experience, an assistant from an elite college program, or someone who has been talked about as a "top recruiter." CY Young, Huss, Mennenga, Pastrana are a few of the rumored names I recall. While I think that Tim will be fine, and might be excellent over time, let's not pretend that a guy with four years at Depaul as his only major CBB experience has a comparable resume and track record to some of the other guys that were mentioned for this position. A position to which, if you recall two months ago, our AD was allegedly willing to commit a seven-figure salary.
I wish Tim well. I think he will be good; probably a better recruiter than Gentry. He doesn't blow my mind. I hope he proves me wrong. Kentucky went home with the prom queen. We didn't.
