Depends on what exactly being handcuffed entails, is it just not allowing Fox to "get dirty" in recruiting or is it something much more. There is enough to sell at UGA that we don't necessarily need somebody who is an absolute slimeball, snake oil salesman, handing out free cars to get good players here. Fox isn't necessarily a great recruiter and he doest always seem to like giving a lot of minutes to freshmen, but he's done a good job of bringing in good players. Maybe I'm biased but I feel that an up and coming mid-major coach or assistant at a top school would be very interested in the job, should it become available.

Ok, so what are you going to sell at UGA?

Say the final 3 for a 5* guard from Atlanta are UK, UGA, and Duke.

What do you sell him on?

But we don't want this job to turn into a revolving door by someone using it as a stepping stone.

Idk if this is true or not, supposedly Michael Adams was so embarrassed by the Harrick ordeal and the awfulness of Felton recruits that he pretty much prevented Fox from going after the AAU kids and playing the "dirty game." Again, idk if that's true but it's pretty widely thought of. Fox had to change perceptions of the program when he got here after the fiascos of Harrick and Felton.
