How do you know it is just a glorified vacation?

mentor is very different than coaching. Even if Nic has a great time, plays wonderfully and comes back healthy, it still hurts us more than helps us. Nothing like your vocal senior leader and PG not being there all summer during workouts, down time etc.
Bottom line, it's Larry playing mentor and friend w/Self to the detriment of our program. No one ever does it, but we do and some of you try to explain it off. How about this, less Self poaching Howard and Vick and more us keeping our PG.

I don't understand that at all. I was just talking w/a buddy of mine who is a huge Villanova fan. Solid, if not very good program over the years. Anyway, I ask him who are the top 5 Nova players of all time. The list is full of NBA guys like Kerrry Kittles, Randy Foye, Kyle Lowry, Doug West, Tim Thomas but no one that would ever polarize a recruit to the point of swaying them. Maryland is top 3 next year and loaded w/NBA talent, except they haven't had any NBA talent, outside of Alex Len, since the early 2000s(sorry Greivas.
You may need NBA success stories to grab lottery type kids, but you don't need lottery kids to be a final 4 threat. You need roughly 3 kids that can play in the league w/the right team/coach/system, not even league stars. You can get those kids in the 30-130 range every year. Just do that
I feel like we do well with the bottom half of that range. It is the 30 to 80 I would like to see more of.
That's reasonable and I agree. Just have to walk before you run and our methodology is different than most w/all the transfers etc

Our coaches aren't responsible for most of the players offseason development, be real. They have increased access, but it's about work ethic and habits learned. How do our frosh PGs know how hard they have to work, if they aren't being shown?

Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2015 2:06 pmThis is simply a case of Larry Brown, good human being, looking out for the interests of one of his players...this is a great opportunity and exposure for Nic, on the world stage.
Re: Nic Moore Joining KU Team @ World Univ. Games
Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2015 2:09 pmMeh. How about he is being coached by another one day HOF coach. He will be put in different situations that he might learn new things that can help us/him next year on the court. And I think this is over like july 15th, which gives him plenty of time to mentor the new guards who I don't believe are even on campus yet.

Larry does so much for Self, Cal, ect. It's very impressive on his part, but I'm not entirely sure that it is reciprocated from them. If Cal and Self would gush about Larry and SMU a quarter as much as Larry does about Kansas and UK our national perception would benefit tenfold.
