What about the good players TJ got for McDermott? He has a proven record of bringing talent to Ames.
Yep but no where near the level of KU and that's where we hoped we were going. With Fred and TJ maybe, with TJ alone doubtful, with TJ and an up and coming coach I hope but not likely. That's why I was hoping for a splash hire. Someone who brought their own national recruiting cache. Prohm and whoever he has recruiting for him need to strike when the iron is hot and right now we are way behind. I hope we catch lightning in a bottle with Prohm he looks like a good coach. But those who think TJ would take that next step I think are a little naive. Maybe he could maintain the status quo but that's about it. Maybe status quo is good enough for some.
Anyway that's what I found frustrating about the calls for TJ. And now all the calls for blaming JP if this doesn't work out. Unless like I said he didn't do his utmost to sign a big name.
I think Chris Williams basically said the same thing although not near as eloquently on the radio today. That's he's tired of basically being everyone's second choice. Or something like that. He said he was concerned about Prohms recruiting to get us to the next level but I'm not sure he ever questioned TJ's ability to so nor has anyone else.
I apologize if I didn't represent Chris' position but that's kind of where I stand also. Status quo will not be good enough. Hope I'm wrong.
