Ray, I agree with much of what you have written. This business of scrutinizing a player's H.S. stats and assuming that he will make a contribution on that basis is sheer folly. Reserve judgement until you have seen him play. Disallusionment and disappointment are too often the byproducts of not doing this. Many will disagree with me, but in my opinion TOT is at best an average recruiter. It seems that he has had great difficulty recruiting shooters unlike some of our MAAC brethren who always seem to have a couple of guys who are deadly from the perimeter. From what I see it will take an act of God to transform our guys into any kind of consistent outside threats. We have been waiting on some of our guys for two or three years to develop, but they are the same players now that they were when they arrived (in some cases less proficient). And don't get me started on the frontcourt.

In assessing our current crop of players I would say that most are average MAAC guys and are playing at the level where they belong. Some should actually be at a lower level than the MAAC. Sorry to be blunt, but this is the reality of the situation.

Hey RM good to "talk" to you again. My question is if TOT is only an average recruiter, and as some have said only an average "x's&o's" guy, what is the argument for keeping him around for the next 5-8 years?

Ray,
Have you run that marathon yet?
