My biggest fear is the cloud of Mack to UL hangs over us all year, making recruiting nearly impossible.

I don't think that's the issue at all, imo. I don't think recruits are scared of not getting playing time either. There are plenty of schools with good incoming classes who are recruiting well for '18. I don't know what it is with this class, but unless we get some unexpected good news, I've resigned myself to the fact this is going to be a pretty weak recruiting class. Who knows, maybe Walter and Kennedy will turn into great players.

What makes you think it’s not an issue? How can it not be?

Not only does Xavier deal with it every year, but so does just about every other school.
The UC fans are convinced that it’s gojng to be Cronin to UL and not Mack.
Nova fans fear their coach leaving for the pros or for another school.
Etc.

Right... and I suspect it is a recruiting hurdle for most coaches. In fact, after name brand, I would think itÂ’s one of the biggest reasons schools like UK, KU, UNC, Zona, & Duke routinely land the very top recruits... those coaches aren’t going anywhere, at least not of their own volition.
Nova recruits ahead of X or UC; the fact Wright has publicly declared he does not intend to leave Nova has nothing to do with that? Obviously recruiting involves a litany of factors, but it seems to me things like coaching continuity and available playing time have to be two of the most critical considerations a recruit has to make.
I could be wrong though... Maybe the most important consideration is which campus cafeteria serves the best chicken patties.Last edited by XUBison; 10-08-2017 at 05:46 PM.

It’s certainly a hurdle, but then again I’m not sure it’s a huge hurdle. Especially since Mack (and so many other coaches) deals with it every year and has for some time. By now I’m sure that they have learned how to deal with it.
There are as many reasons why a kid chooses one school over another as there are kids. Each one is different. It’s not all about who the head coach is for every kid. But I’m sure that is a factor for most kids.
