Cmon! That would just be too easy.....Jamie and Jeff have both adjusted appropriately. If anything, pile on Stallings…
Jamie wasnt an acc coach. The tempo and athleticism needed wasnt gonna happen with jamie. The big 12 is good for him. Jamie had a system and recruited to it. Capel recruits talent and has a system that is dependent on who he has. Their is no question capel is a better recruiter than dixon either. Dixon had some top recruits but they were more so for the assistant coaches than dixon.Is HCJC a better recruiter than Jamie is God. ? Who can forget Jamies last class Rosie Nix and Justice Kithcart
The other aspect of this is that we were one of the upper tier Adidas schools for a long time. I think it was better for the athletic department as a whole when we switched to Nike in the late 2000’s, but I think we got a little bit of extra sweeteners from adidas that we haven’t gotten from Nike when we moved down their pecking order.Jamie wasnt an acc coach.

I was never a fan of the Capel hire. His main selling point as a coach was that he was a good recruiter. I never thought that was the right fit for Pitt. Pitt is never going to outrecruit the Duke's and North Carolina's or even the Syracuses of the ACC for the best high school players in the country. So to try to win by out-recruiting those teams is a losing approach.
When Dixon was so successful in the BE (he left with the highest winning % of any coach in that conference) he did so not by outrecruiting the Georgetown's and UConn's, he did it with a system. That's how Tony Bennett has been so successful in the ACC--not by outrecruiting, but by having a system that makes the whole better than the sum of their parts.
But now the world has changed. High shool recruiting, while still important, is now secondary to portal recruiting. That has changed everything. So Capel is still getting out-recruited for the freshman (heck our fan base is ecstatic if we get a top 100 player while other teams in the conference get top 10 players), but he's proven to be very adapt at using the portal to plug in holes, and getting players that fit together as a team. So it turns out his skillset of recruiting is now valuable even at Pitt, and it may prove to work.
I can see the tempo angle when comparing BE to ACC but is the ACC tempo and athleticism really any faster/better than the B12?Jamie wasnt an acc coach.
