As a coach who has made the opposite transition from the Big East to a low-major program, Willard said his experiences have shown it's easier to go from a big-time school to a mid or low-major in recruiting.
"You only have to deal with the high school coach and the parents as opposed to the posse surrounding those players," Willard said.
An equally interesting quote from the same article:
"He's entering a different Big East," Willard said. "When it goes to 16 teams, in a good year, nine teams will be left out of the NCAA Tournament when seven go."
It's comments like this that show me that, PL frustrations and all, RW realizes that his current position at HC has some definite advantages.
