Can he recruit? If not, meh. Weber is a SLTH/X's and O's type coach. No need for another one on the staff. Why are the tucks excited about this guy?
Of course he can't recruit. He had a losing record in each of his last four seasons in the Valley. Remarkable that he wasn't fired sooner.
lets see when Lowery and Weber were together SIU went from the bottom 1/3 of the valley to the sweet 16.
Weber can coach and build a team.
Lowery can recruit. (how else could he have recruited MR basketball in Illinois to play at SIU and drive him off?) Lowery always had several very talented players and kept the bench full, he just could not get them to play as a team.
They are a very good tandem when working together.
Think of it as the Eagles getting back together.
