Jank still building his reputation-will he be considered a guy who let the program slip, the guy who maintained the program or will he take the program to new heights. Its tough on a Coach who has been hamstrung by sanctions caused by his predecessor-but he will still be held responsible.

I agree. If we make the NCAA tournament it will be much easier to recruit a replacement level player or better whereas if we become an NIT team it will be that much more difficult to attract top talent. We need to become a perennial NCAA tournament team in order to build our brand.
