Sorry to sound/be stupid, but I have a few questions about recruiting:
1. What would it take to increase the coaching and/or recruiting budgets? Even if that’s possible, would increasing either or both budgets help much? How does Pitt compare to the other P5 schools?
2. Also, would it be worth it to hire an AAU coach as an assistant? Slimy yes, but necessary at this point? I don't hear about many current assistants with ties to AAU that Pitt would be able to steal from another school.
3. Does anyone else find it disgusting that Rowan can’t even mention “Louisville” at all because a shoe company ordered him not to? That is a complete and vile joke. Not that I care about Louisville at all, and I don’t think we have a shot at Rowan, but do shoe companies now have some sort of authority to limit a recruit’s options on where he goes to college? Do I have my facts straight on that? If so, it seems like, at least to SOME extent, a kid has to pick a college before choosing what to wear on his feet.
Please feel free to comment on any of the above.
