First post so you can take it with a grain of salt if you desire. Been a Louisville fan all my life but am now also rooting for the Gophers hence my screen name. Richard is one heck of a hire. For those with recruiting concerns Richard was responsible for some top recruits at UofL. Two that come to mind were Samardo Samuels #2 recruit in his class. Yeah, he didn't pan out the way we hoped. Siva was also a Direct result of Richard's recruiting- I'm happy with how he turned out. He was pivotal on others but not sure exactly who. I'm not sure of who you guys are in on, but I'm going to start following closely. GopherHomer-he will land some big time recruits that will impress you.
2nd point: Richard was instrumental in us reaching the Final 4 in 2012 and he probably helped us during our National Championship run this year. He forced Rick to make all the changes at half of the elite 8 game against Florida in '12. The guy can scout and is a master at X's and O's.
Look forward to posting more and interacting with you all.
