I'll go the opposite way. I get really tired of CMY's

awww schucks/sniff sniff routine. Yes, he should find the guys who HE thinks will help his team win. Presumably that's why he signed Cone, Ojiako, Bamisile, N'Guessan and Haynes. Did those guys help the team win? Recruiting services don't get the same looks he gets, and just like him, don't always get it right. But I'll also guarantee you in every recruiting year if he thinks he has a legit shot at top, high rated talent, he isn't taking 2 stars until he thinks he's out of the game with the 5 stars. With respect to Aluma and Cattoor, it's really easy to fall back on the 'I don't care about stars routine' when you're talking about transfers you got when you had no better options. And yes, they both turned out to be much better than their recruiting rankings, but he didn't recruit them over Joe Bamisile type players either.

Funniest part was his feelings on stretching…

Static stretching is bad for you prior to an athletic event and completely

His comments were have you ever seen a cat stretch before it pounced and

Don't read too much into Coach's comment, it's not like only 2 star players
icelus 08/17/22 11:31 PM ET
Isn’t this the epitome of a “system coach” approach?**

Most of my thoughts have been written by others below, but another to add
hoosnowahokie 08/19/22 12:11 PM ET
Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I don't like the delivery and I'm not a fan
IronBlood 08/19/22 01:55 PM ET
Im not sure this take will age that well

Hope you are in that "very select group" with CMY**

I'll be happy to break this down tomorrow...

I don’t have any problem with it. Frankly I find it interesting and

Bamisile has $1000 talent and $0.10 head. Cone had a role that he didn't
vt90 08/17/22 01:56 PM ET
Bamisile did not have a $0.10 head....
vtbball80 08/17/22 05:17 PM ET
Poor choice of words - certainly didn't mean he isn't a smart kid ...
vt90 08/17/22 05:27 PM ET
Correct. He is a sharp kid**
hokietom87 08/17/22 05:20 PM ET
Do you really think that is an appropriate comment
Squatro 08/17/22 04:37 PM ET
The point is not which recruits panned out and which didn't.
IronBlood 08/17/22 02:24 PM ET
I'm not following your logic. Seems like your examples are:
Hokie622 08/17/22 03:53 PM ET
Well first of all, I don't have a theory of CMY is a better or worse
IronBlood 08/17/22 05:07 PM ET
Dude, you need to listen to the podcast. You're taking a couple of comments
HeisenBurg13 08/17/22 03:40 PM ET
Cone, Ojiako, Bamisile, N'Guessan absolutely helped us win**
VictoryTurkey 08/17/22 01:42 PM ET
Ah yes, like a 6 year old playing youth basketball, they won because they

Cone played 20 min/game and shot 40% from 3...
