Re: Tubby Smith resigns, taking Minnesota job
[ QUOTE ]
considering Manning is one of his top assistants...yeah [/ QUOTE ] Ok, I'm a bit out of the loop there. But, do you think that registers with an 18 yr old? More than the last 10 years of your program? More than the realistic chance at playing minutes? More than 'connecting' with the coach and assistants?

[/ QUOTE ] I think the history gets the foot in the door- a lot of doors. From there, it comes down to other things. History also helps with fan base and exposure presentations that coaches make to recruits. It's very important for a young man to be aware of the school. There is a reason Carolina, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and UCLA can grab a kid from just about anywhere in the country. The kid is *aware* of those schools.
