Would Allen Iverson make a good recruiter? (The Ticket)

[Comet]

As I was driving home yesterday, the Hardliners were talking about recent reports of Allen Iverson being completely broke. Apparently Larry Brown and others in our staff were interviewed and shown to be concerned about him. Then Corby asked, why not just add him to the SMU staff, maybe he could coach? I'm pretty sure that his coaching wouldn't be all that great, especially in light of having Larry here. However, he might be able to be a pretty strong recruiter given his background. This made for interesting food for thought after a long day yesterday (also more local publicity).

Doesn't sound like things are going well.

Pay him $50k/year to hang out and play pickup basketball with the basketball & football teans (and recruits when they visit). No other official job duties than that. No smoking on campus. No guns on campus.

The guy is a walking train wreck.

He could run practices.

better recruiting that personal investment advisor.

LOL

Since LB is all about doing things "the right way" and AI is not, it would almost undermine brown to have him around.

No

No

agree. leave everything the way it is. this is the most success we have every had. also we have a coach in waiting.

Maybe not a coaching job, but would still like to see him make multiple appearances here in Dallas.

Good pub for SMU and possibly good for AI as well.

June would help him out by putting him on staff.

Actually, AI might not be bad on the football staff. He could most likely recruit better than some of our coaches.

With his apparent alcohol abuse I don't think he would be helpful in any capacity on the hilltop. Hope he gets the help he needs.

Sad but true

Some actually thought he was a better football player than bball player coming out of high school...too bad with all that talent he can't contribute much or anything to society.

Allen attended Bethel High School, where he started as quarterback for the school football team, while also playing running back, kick returner and defensive back and started as point guard for the school basketball team. During his junior year, Allen was able to lead both teams to Virginia state championships, as well as earning The Associated Press High School Player of the Year award in both sports.

pretty strong rumors he'll be around Crum this summer. Some of you are nancies, if you don't want AI around to run pick-up and train w/our kids.
