    Dayton Coaching Search

    I see this morning they are targeting Randy Bennett.

    Looks like GT had to pay 350k to UD for the buyout.

    A 50 year old dude from the left coast? Just on the surface it seems to be a big drop off from the recruiting standpoint. I don't know much about him, but he seems to have lived a vast majority of his basketball life West of the Rockies. He might be able to coach...but he would have to load his staff with some guys who have some Midwest connections.

    Yeah. I'm not sure I follow the logic either. But who knows. It's clear they didn't have a guy waiting in the wings (something X has been very fortunate to have the past two times).

    That's ALL??? Wow. Considering it was such a lengthy contract I would have guessed the buyout to be more than that.

    Saint Mary's recruits from pretty much all over the world. Literally. They really don't have a recruiting base.

    I love Randy Bennett as a coach. I have a completely different take. He doesn't rely on recruiting services or anything like that. He knows what he wants to do, and goes after the players that will help him do it, and pretty much gets the players he wants. To me, that is the definition of a good recruiter. Someone who knows what they want, and gets it, even if what they want isn't always covered by recruiting services and scouts.

    That being said, why go to Dayton?? He's got a pretty good thing going where he is.

    Never mind, I see his recruiting style.
