But if, as Damon says, they want the program to become a consistent national program, then eventually you need to rely more on talent than just coaching. And it remains to be seen what Fox can do beyond a program like Nevada.David Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872368286061273646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-51908670268717689882009-04-05T16:17:00.000-04:002009-04-05T16:17:00.000-04:00Very good, Mike in Valdosta..!Yes, I keep trying t...Very good, Mike in Valdosta..!<BR/><BR/>Yes, I keep trying to point out to the local writers that K-State is viewed as an academic dumping ground-kind of program everywhere else in the country, but they just don't/won't see it. So they hired Bill Snyder back this year to continue to do his Tarkanian-but-a-kindly-grandfather act with their sell-out football program.<BR/><BR/>My point with this rbubpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-84087923326694006452009-04-05T16:00:00.000-04:002009-04-05T16:00:00.000-04:00rbubp, I am not overly famliar with KSU, but my an...rbubp, I am not overly famliar with KSU, but my answer would have been a definite "yes" while Bob Huggins was coaching. Again, not too knowledgeable on KSU, but I am pretty sure they have some of the lowest entrance requirements when compared to major conferences (the Bill SNyder effect).MikeInValdostahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442436555322142725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-21160740027954481882009-04-05T12:06:00.000-04:002009-04-05T12:06:00.000-04:00Mike would you have said that Kansas State would b...Mike would you have said that Kansas State would be the sort of place and program a "pre-NBA" recruit would go?<BR/><BR/>...and then they had two last year in Michael Beasley and Bill Walker.rbubpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-12853432555552061112009-04-04T12:40:00.000-04:002009-04-04T12:40:00.000-04:00"Palin", ouch, but if the dunce cap fits....On the..."Palin", ouch, but if the dunce cap fits....<BR/><BR/>On the coaching up talent vs recruiting talent, that would be a great debate.

As you said, both talked in generalities. My impression of Fox is that he really doesn't know much specifically about Georgia.
