[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 109521, member: 1776"] Given how Gregory planned to build this team I knew it would take time. I give him a partial pass for last season due to the stream of injuries. That was potentially an NIT team if healthy. Still could have been better. When he came in, he all but said they weren't going to recruit 5 star guys the first couple of years as they tried to build a base of solid players that you could then add high 4/5 star talent to. Basically said he wanted to build a program that could sustain itself. I'll wait and see how the year plays out before i make a final decision on him. I do think much like the FB program this is a decision year based on the coaches contract. I expect him to be either extended or released based on how this year plays out. Recruiting has changed radically in the last 2-3 years in college basketball. CBS Sports had a nice article on this last month. Alot of coaches are now purposely not filling their scholarships in the fall. Basically they play for their A list and then if they miss rather than going to their B list they hold the schollies to the spring feeling they can get a more impactful player through transfers than from HS. Last year the number of transfers avg almost 2 per school for all Div 1 baksetball. Gregory has obviously been one of those that has taken this approach. Staff still needs to do better in the fall but to his credit he recovered well in the Spring given Robert's surprise decision. If MBob decides to make a move i'm quite comfortable with him as he has extensive basketball contacts and background. Based on his previous hires I would expect a very good find. [/QUOTE]
