re: UGA VS Mich St BB

I’m a UGA grad. Purdue fan by birth. Was a student during the Felton years.

I think the team is very talented. Not talented enough to overcome the complete lack of defense this coach teaches.

I’m not a fan of Crean. He’s just flat out not an elite coach. My choice was always Ron hunter from State. It’s not a sexy splash but the dude is a good coach, decent recruiter and could have set up the program for some sustained success.

Crean is a snake oil salesman. He’ll get some great players but he also got blackballed from Indiana High Schools late in his IU tenure because of his recruiting lies and screwing over players. IU is still pretty awful 3 years removed from Crean. Not that I mind, but I don’t want him to do that same level of damage to this program.

I know recruiting nattys are all the rage in football, but in basketball if you can’t develop guys, the star rankings next to their name don’t mean shite.
