A lot of truth in that post. But this is why evals matter because UVA offered Jerome when he was 232, Hunter 112, Guy was 50. Great class but the services did not rank it 7th until after they committed and boosted the player rankings way after the offer. Look at all the guys he got in other years like Brogdon, Harris, Perrantes, Clark, Mitchell, Adkins that all won conference titles, some became 1st team all ACC, defensive players of the year, all americans. The coaches evals were so much better than some ranking that only bumps them up after the verbals. Eric Bossi talked about that on a podcast ! Admitted it. Evals, including character, development and defense. None of what we were good at here. Bo Ryan was really good at it as well. At UVA it was not just about the National title, they have 5 regular season titles since TB got there. Duke has one in that time frame. He could not get the guys THE BLUE BLOODS DID BUT HE FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO BEAT THEM. That is what Ben will have to try. Be better at evals, charachter, development and defense than the last coach. It will be hard but not as hard as doing worse. We can disagree, that is part of what a message board is all about.
