Surprised Brownell can't attract a decent low post player


Mar 15, 2013, 12:06 PM

given his coaching abilities and our roster.

I'm just surprised anytime we make a free throw. ;)

Bobo...

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Isn't this his 4th recruiting class?


Mar 15, 2013, 12:14 PM

You could argue to throw out his first class. He has now had 3 full classes with 1 scholarship remaining.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He's had 2 classes on campus...Only an idiot would count


Mar 15, 2013, 12:20 PM

the class that OP ran off on and his "4th" class has yet to step on campus....2 classes...We'll see how Landry and Josh play out...

Re: He's had 2 classes on campus...Only an idiot would count

2 classes of his guys. he had Stanton who transferred after the first year. He was a BB recruit who came with him to CU in the job change after OP left.

Mar 15, 2013, 12:13 PM

...with all the 6'10" guys bombing 3's in the NBA now big guys don't want to get on the block. There are no Ewings, Jabbars, or even Howards anymore.....at least imo.

Certainly not suggesting that, but that should not be used


Mar 15, 2013, 12:17 PM

as an excuse for not signing quality players over 6-6 who can play the positions.

Mar 15, 2013, 12:30 PM

what you can do.

We should know by the end of next year if he can get it done. But, I understand a sense of urgency on the part of the AD to get the basketball program on a money making path and avoid continuing down one that may be the wrong one.

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I can explain it to you, but I can't make you understand it.


Mar 15, 2013, 12:45 PM

1st class: Stanton
2nd class: Hall, McDaniel, Coleman, Sapp, Sullivan
3rd class: Nnoko, Smith, Filer, Roper, Blossomgame
4th class: Rooks, Ajukwa, and 1 more scholarship.

Maybe he gets a stud with the last scholarship, but so far, it's as I said it was.

Mar 15, 2013, 12:58 PM

because you know there were a lot of big men waiting around in April and you want to count a class that he has not finalized...That's how YOU get to 4...I say he has 2 classes to judge so far...

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


You can't judge Rooks' and Ajukwa's height yet?


Mar 15, 2013, 1:05 PM

everything I read says they are 6-3 and 6-5. He's got one more scholarship out of his last 3 classes to sign another big man, which was my original point.

And you missed the statement where I said you could argue to throw the first one of the four out.

Wasn't arguing just think its hard to find 6'8"+..


Mar 15, 2013, 12:26 PM [ in reply to Certainly not suggesting that, but that should not be used ]

in todays generation that is willing to be just a big block guy....they all think they can score like Durant....which lends itself back to the 'system' argument again....i'm a Brownell fan and really with where we are now have no problem giving him at least 2 more years....basketball today can be fixed quickly with so many guys wanting to jump to NBA (warranted or not) so you have ability to recruit yourself to a winning season but often its short lived unless youre the BIG DOGs.....i say let's see if he can establish a program and if in 2 years we are still here then go hire the HOT new guy and let him give it a shot....but remember im just a girls hs hoops coach so take all the above accordingly....

I guess he's still working hard on Demetrius Henry.

and maybe the Djitte kid out of Fayetteville. There are very few 4 or 5 star guys left in this cycle.

and he has no shot at those 2 five star PFs.

After 4 recruiting class, one of which you can throw out, he only has 2 big man. He has one more scholarship to use in this class, possibly on another big man. Up to this point we only have 2 men(most understand this is less than desirable).
