I think it's pretty clear that Brad can coach the crap out of good basketball players. Is there any indication that shows he can recruit at a high level in the big 12? That is my only concern.
It's a legit concern. He would need to find 2-3 really good assistants that can recruit. I think he could.
I said this in another thread, but the ability of oscar and his staff to recruit enough talent to be a top half of the conference team has completely eliminated recruiting as a question for Brad in my mind.
Even if Brad doesn't have any recruits he believes are P5 to bring with him it's not like oscar did either (after 15+ years straight as a HC in one of the best bb states in the country
). After 3 years at SFA I trust Brad knows at least a couple of guys from the Texas AAU scene to do what AB3 has done.
Finally, Brad himself has Florida connections and it would be nice to get in on some of the Sunrise kids.
I guess what I am saying is I will eat my hat if Brad can't replicate what oscar has done. I suppose one thing oscar can do is drop Deron Williams name but I doubt any recruits care about what oscar did at Illinois when they were 5 or 6 years old.
