I have a feeling the new model will look a lot more like Figs than a new version of Te.

Good, Figs actually recruits.

ART "effING" ALVAREZ come on down!!!

sys brought up a good point awhile back that art is more valuable to us where he is.  Then again Frank might just be that loyal(not smart) about it.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with that, I just think some of our fans think that we are going to get a package deal like we did with Beasley/Hill.

I'm just hoping we can get a decent younger recruiting coach with connections to either NYC or Texas.

Do you not want an AAU package deal or are you saying no way it happens?  

[GetVocalwithCurt]

I want a guy with ties to the Midwest. Give me Indiana, Ohio and Chicago kids all day long.

Why not look at a guy from Butler to fill that gap.

I don't think it will happen. Plus, Hill was already a D1 assistant and Huggins had pull. I don't think Frank has that kind of pull, even if that kind of guy is available.

I do think he's likely going to find a younger recruiter to fill the spot.

I'm not sure who the "best" recruiter in the country is, but i would have a hard time believing that $500K (420+80 bonus) per wouldn't get them to KSU.  For christ's sake, Maryland's ENTIRE assitant coaching staff was making $230K combined.  Dalonte wasn't performing to his salary level...period.

illinois & pacific northwest.  dad runs a chicago youth bball thing, plus has 5 star 2013 brother.




scratch the pacific northwest, bad info.  but add connections to the best juco in the world.

'te just left that salary for far less, Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

[KITNfury]

I think 'Te was way underperforming. I don't care how much we were paying him either way. I just want somebody pulling in good talent, he mostly wasn't doing that anymore. If Frank hires a dud or nobody at all, 'Te leaving is a negative. If he hires someone who recruits better, then it's a positive. How this move is ultimately graded is on Frank's shoulders.

K-State's two best players next season are Dalonte recruits (McGruder and Samuels).  You guys are f*cked.  

Thanks for proving my point, both recruited a long time ago (in the college sports world). If you're getting half a mill, you need to bring at least one solid guy per year as an assistant. He wasn't doing that. I don't think our team, from the last two years, changes with him gone. We'll recruit just like we have (average) unless we bring someone in that is good. We would have been average had he stayed. So I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think him leaving really hurts us as he wasn't exactly pulling in blue-chippers lately. If we get another 'Te (circa 2008ish) it will be a good thing.

I think its time we called in a few favors. Mr. Jackson, if you're nasty.

IT'S PHIL!*

*thanks Tex!

Rob on 610 now talking about this.

[CatsFan_58]

goddamnit, i was all going to support Chingon, then sys made a good point. I'm on the fence. I've been down on Frank lately, for whatever reason...so i might ride the "this sucks" train.

ya... i just want to be good at basketball, damnit!!     
  for someone with some connections.

The problem which most Te450PLUSK supporters have . . . is that they have to go great lengths trying to explain what Te450PLUSK was bringing to the table.   Let's be honest the Te450PLUSK direct pipeline dried up 3 years ago.   When a school is paying an assistant $450KPLUS a year, you shouldn't need more than about 10 words to explain what he is bringing to the table, and most of that should be names of extremely high quality recruits.   What Te450KPLUSK supporters have been left with is a lot of mumbling and stumbling around, with protracted responses and elongated diatribes about what Te450PLUSK was actually getting accomplished.

What sucks about all this is that if this happened 3 years ago, we could have hired another AAU guy and been knocking out recruits again.

So I take it you think Turg is a huge respect for making him 300KTe?

Very worth while investment for Turg.

Great move for 'te, especially if he can start moving kids again.

Why should I care that Turd is paying Hill $300K?

Apparently you're quite upset about it.

. . . . and what exactly does "turg is a huge respect" mean.
