Boy can Coach Craft recruit. I'm really liking what he is building in year 1. We might see some darn good players come through the Whee very soon. This hire is looking better and better.

not saying you are wrong but why do you think the players Craft have brought in are so good? Most are unknowns and many have never played a minute or at most very little

not saying you are wrong but why do you think the players Craft have brought in are so good? Most are unknowns and many have never played a minute or at most very little I'm not saying the guys he's brought in so far are going to be really good. I was more referring to players he will bring in, in the near future. The guys he is bringing in are from good programs with good coaching staff's. Yes these guys haven't played many minutes but they practice against the starters, learn a lot from the coaches and learn a lot from watching games. You can get a lot of good quality experience without seeing a lot of minutes on the floor. It's not that these guys can't play. There's just so much good talent on teams and coaches can't find minutes for other guys. I've watched a good amount of high school, AAU and college highlights from these guys and I do feel like some of them will have a good impact. A lot of these guys committed are young so with extra coaching and time on on the floor, they could end up being really good players.

In my opinion, I think next basketball seasons team is a rebuilding year. Coach is bringing in some talented young players that need to learn how to plar together. I think next years season will be great if we finish close to .500 or maybe a little less. I think most of us would be happy with breaking even next year.

I agree. Rebuilding year. The problem is, same thing will happen every year due to the portal. We will lose some players and gain some new ones. They will need to learn to play together again. Endless cycle. These kids hopefully will eventually learn (and I have been preaching this for years on this board), "big pea, small pod" concept. They will excel and earn the spotlight at WCU vs. larger schools.
CAN YOU STOP THAT CAT MACHINE!!!!

I believe it is very difficult to basicly recruit a new team and highly successful the first year. Some schools have done it, but i wouldn’t make a habit of it.Looks like coach is getting young guys, some with experience, that fit his style of play and recruiting. He puts an emphasis on character, that will pay off in long run.

I laugh but who knows with Western. We would be the only school in the world that would not accept all credits from a kid from Princeton.
