I said back in March 2007 that Tubby was a good recruiter. A few (from another state) disagreed.
I still think I'm right, and the results bear that out.
There will always be people who think that if all our recruits are not five stars or "ranked" in the top 25 in the country that they are not a good recruiting class.
Tubby has clearly demonstrated he knows how to evaluate talent and has an ability to see beyond the freshman year for a player. His picking up Chip so late in the game shows me he knows what he is doing on the recruiting circuit. He recruits good kids who work in his system and have the talent level to compete with anyone. He also appears to going out of his way to avoid baggage. I look for even better players to be donning the maroon and gold in the future.
I'll take what we have over the current Kentucky methodology any time.
I agree. I can say unequivically that it makes me proud to have Tubby Smith represent The U and the State of Minnesota.
Not only that, but the guy can shoot freethrows
Not only that, but the gang at GopherHole can shoot the $hit. Love it!!!
