affect april continues deep drag essential hiring spring weekends
If it continues to drag on, it will affect their spring recruiting. You don't want to go deep in April without hiring a coach. These weekends are essential to recruiting.
alternate basically carolina class duke final four last monster north personnel recruiting year
Last year Duke had a monster recruiting class. This year North Carolina has a monster recruiting class. These two teams, with the way their personnel is rigged, should basically alternate Final Four appearances.
coach decide guys player recruit type until
Until a coach is hired, I don't think there's really anything those guys can do or would do. The new coach will have to decide if the recruit is the type of player that they want, and the player will have to decide if they want to play for the new coach.
basketball best carry decision great happy harder light next player pressure volleyball work
He may be the best volleyball player in the country, but I think the light has come on for him as a basketball player. There's a lot to be said about that. Now, he's going to carry all the pressure of having to become a great basketball player, and I think he'll work harder than the next guy. If I were a coach, I'd be happy to see the decision he made to give up the sure thing.

He refused to accept anything less than being big-time. His goals were to make Florida relevant.

He just wasn't ready to make his decision in the fall. He just felt like he needed more time. He's the exception rather than the rule.

You draw and pick from a little bit of everything.

The system was the most important thing to him when making his decision. I think he is the one guy who is watching this maybe closer than the others.
guy maybe negative nolan opposite people shoot smith term
The term 'combo guard' can sometimes have negative connotations. People think maybe a guy isn't a point, but doesn't shoot it well enough to be a wing. Nolan Smith is the opposite of that.
andy believe class college fighting following head kennedy mandate move region season setting swiftly talking whether
The way it was setting up the (recruit) class of 2006 season wasn't going to be make-or-break (for UC) anyway. I still believe the class of 2007 is more important. Following the end of the season, they need to move swiftly if they're having a fighting chance, because the region is loaded, and I'm not just talking about (North College Hill's O.J.) Mayo. To do that, a full-time guy, whether it's (associate head coach) Andy (Kennedy) or someone else. You have to give him a fighting chance. It has to be a swift mandate for Andy Kennedy or someone else.
dangerous either flaws game guys handle high kids last major nba overlook school scouts seen starting three willing
I really think it's dangerous for the NBA this year. A lot of NBA scouts are starting to feel comfortable with high school kids. Having seen most of these kids for the last three years, I can tell you that each one of these guys has major flaws in their game that the NBA is either willing to overlook right now or don't have a handle on.
good hands
I really like what Louisiana-Monroe is doing. They've assembled a really good staff. They've kind of had their hands in different areas.
