[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 577355, member: 2784"] I fully agree that at this point we need some success to help change the trajectory of our recruiting efforts. I think that is a product of the fact that CJP has now been here and established a perception (real or not) of a program with issues on and off the court, not being real "cool" and having teams in the bottom quarter of the league. Crean and Collins either don't have a record at all or only have one year so are not pegged by the record. So they get to the sell the "sizzle" of potential and energy like an IPO while CJP is now in the druggery of having to sell his record with lackluster quarterly earnings. (just a stock selling analogy for some attempt at humor here). CJP had his time to be able to sell "sizzle" but for a lot of the reasons discussed got sidetracked and wasn't able to convey that to recruits and couldn't close. Lot of good ideas like the concert, but a litany of problems, staff turnover and not making the tourney are what folks/recruits know now. And few are willing to take the time to look and see how hot his seat may or in reality may not be. CJP had his opportunity to sell the sizzle/future but now has to sell reality. Much tougher sell to make. [/QUOTE]
