Re: Eric Williams Recruitment

Yeah I don't want to be the fan base who curses players for leaving. Let's not be bias and understand who we are as a basketball program compared to Oregon and Arizona. 

Shoot I wouldn't mind being the program kids go to who think they are worth a P5 starting role.

Re: Eric Williams Recruitment

That’s not fun to me!.  The current situation with the bigger programs parasitizing smaller programs simply makes it impossible to ever build a program at a non P-5 school by developing and keeping talent for four years.  It was proven repeatedly that veteran  non-P-5 could build an experienced team that successfully challenged the P-5 schools on the court.  It made those matchups enjoyable both during the season and in the post season.  The game loses much of it’s charm when this can’t happen.

Can't argue with that. Even the average P5 is at risk from the big boys. All 3 local programs have had this happen. Bobby Mo losing Reed to Clemson, Pitt losing Cam Johnson to UNC, and now us losing Eric to Oregon. Of course, we in turn took players away from Akron, and Miami (Oh). It becomes a game of musical chairs. You're almost happy when a player like Norman comes along slowly, so that no one wants to take him (yet).
