[QUOTE="GTsports1819, post: 688845, member: 1304"] All valid points. To elaborate, on a few of my comments - when I said recruiting and tied in national perception, I was also thinking about how high school players view our program and how this impacts our ability to bring in high quality talent. Easier to bring players into the fold when they know they are going to get national recognition via primetime games on ESPN and have a chance to make a run in the tourney. How much is this impacted by the timeline we are discussing? Debatable. IMO it can change some based on how we finish this year and next, but we've certainly dug ourselves into a bit of a hole since the current HS players won't remember (weren't around) for the glory days. As far as fan interest - I agree. I think fan interest will make a comeback as soon as we start winning ball games. But from a financial perspective, how much more money do we lose if we aren't filling (say 75% avg) McCamish? It definitely looks packed for the big games - Duke, UNC, some weekend ACC games. But weekday games like the one against VT are not likely to draw much interest right now. What about donations? Would more people contribute if the program has more energy and gets back on the upswing? Of course all of this is moot if we've put out feelers, and we don't like our options. No need to roll the dice for the sake of rolling it. [/QUOTE]
