lol.. I think Bruce is gonna be in a grave before the NCAA does anything about toupee Bill and his ilk.
His press conference and bringing up the FBI was laughably petty. Dude got his a$$ pummeled by Self, year in and year out. Lost to Kansas 3 times in the same yr the season they shared the title with us. He sounded like a total C you next tuesday.
With the talent we got, there is no way Bruce was hooking anyone up. His best players were all under recruited, and any 4 stars with the exception of Pack, have turned out to be total garbage.
Most kids who get recruited at the D1 level have recieved something through the years of high school and aau Ball. Just because Bruce never personally signed off on anything doesnt mean he recruited clean kids. Let's not forget he proudle wore Nike for how long, and turned a blind eye to whatever they were doing. Not to mention coached at Illinois. Wonder how many Chicago and St Louis kids he got there...
Two titles. One with Martin’s players, and the other was a shared title in which they were 0-3 against the team he shared it with. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good coach from a development and teaching perspective, but he is not a program builder. His programs tend to get a little worse over time. His teams have diminishing value year over year with a good to decent year every 2nd or 3rd year, but generally less decent/good than the previous decent/good team. Kind of like looking at a graph of infections during a pandemic. At the tail end you see resurgence, but each comeback a little less than the previous and you know the direction it is ultimately going.
I would imagine that's true. We'll just see if it's about money or not I guess. People at K-State think coaching and retiring at his alma mater is his dream.
There's been 1 player, Nijel Pack. And he committed well before he entered the top 100
Lol.. well we had to take your coach you disposed of last time. I mean.. is it too much to ask to take your Final Four level coach? lol I mean.. fair IS fair.
Brad has been quoted as saying Illinois is his dream job as well. https://www.chicagotribune.com/spor...inois-basketball-spt-0321-20170320-story.html
Bruce and his assistants have St. Louis ties from their days at SIU, and they have continued to recruit St. Louis. If you have to wonder why they got Chicago players, then I'll pray for you.
Only thing that's a knock against McCasland is his height. I think he's a stud, and will be sought after by many. I'd like Chris Mack or Archie Miller.
I think having a good contract and coaching d1 is his dream job. We all know he wants to coach at his alma mater
It may be true that Weber was clean. Who knows? But man…people don’t understand how prevalent it is. I had a friend who played for Wooldridge at KSU. He got some nice cash payments. He was NOT a top 100 player. If a program as bad as Wooldridge’s wasn’t innocent, it can truly happen anywhere. My next door neighbor when I lived in Manhattan was a 3rd string RB I’m the early 2000s under Snyder and he had a nice leather couch and damn nice stereo/system all paid for by backers. And no I’m not trying to tear down KSU. I’m fully aware of what goes on for KU basketball and I heard some stories while Mangino was in town. I don’t doubt that even as bad as KU football has been, that there’s been some shady dealings. I’ve been of the opinion, due to what I know, that there are really only those who cheat and those who cheat well. There may be a couple clean guys, but they’re rare, and even then, they can’t prevent boosters from doing stuff.
Woolridge gave those guys payments as to keep them around because they sucked.
Agree with this, but you know how many coaches have said they'd never leave and left? They're all at their dream jobs. Til they're not. 🤣
Rivals shows several top 100 recruits from the last 5 or so years. Pack isn't even one of them.
Yeah, the dream job part was only thrown in to make a point about KSU supposedly being it. Simply put, it’s easier to win at Illinois, and he gets paid a lot more money. KSU would probably have to pay him more than their football coach to approach his salary at Illinois, and Illinois would immediately top it. However, like I also said, I guess you never know.
Would you like to pull up the top 100 recruits from rivals in the past 5 years? Unless Dean Wade sneaked in the top 100, it's only Pack
Selton Miguel and Dajuan Gordon for sure. Sneed wasn’t quite within 5 years but he’s another. Malek Harris a little further back.
