i think donovan has NBA written all over him. what you said makes sense, especially considering the bulk of recruits in alabama. i'd like to see what alabama's basketball recruiting budget is. i bet it perils in comparison to football -- but it can't be too small considering bama's school size. |

I'm sure its nicely sized. Plus, when you are bringing basketball recruits in September to a 90k football stadium to watch a game, its a little different than bringing them to Ross-Aide or Memorial Stadium. Good football helps basketball, as does good basketball help with football. Reminds of the situation at UT bwith Pearl. His early recruits weren't top recruits, but just really athletic. He's starting to get a lot of better players now. A school like Bama/UGA/Auburn need a coach that plays that style of play to really turn a program around. Heck, Donovan did similar things at UF. Those early teams pressed and ran a lot. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

not to mention all the schools in the south seem to play that style. for instance, if he brought that system to indiana the fans would cry foul -- but if you don't run that style in the south recruits will look right through you. |

Most definitely. I was secretly rooting for IU to get Pearl. The first time he brought a bunch of kids on the court with headbands and socks up their knees would have me rolling on the floor laughing. Some of the people in this state would have flipped out. |
