andy believe class college fighting following head kennedy mandate move region season setting swiftly talking whether
The way it was setting up the (recruit) class of 2006 season wasn't going to be make-or-break (for UC) anyway. I still believe the class of 2007 is more important. Following the end of the season, they need to move swiftly if they're having a fighting chance, because the region is loaded, and I'm not just talking about (North College Hill's O.J.) Mayo. To do that, a full-time guy, whether it's (associate head coach) Andy (Kennedy) or someone else. You have to give him a fighting chance. It has to be a swift mandate for Andy Kennedy or someone else.

It's been trending that way the last few years. The business of college basketball dictates that you can't wait until the spring to get recruits. If you wait until spring, you're dead in the water.

Absolutely they're going to be young. But we're talking about youth and talent.
best biggest chance guy immediate talking wing
You're talking about a 6-8 guy on the wing who can flat-out get it and score. That's going to be the guy who has the best chance to make the biggest immediate impact.
coach decide guys player recruit type until
Until a coach is hired, I don't think there's really anything those guys can do or would do. The new coach will have to decide if the recruit is the type of player that they want, and the player will have to decide if they want to play for the new coach.
