It does make you wonder why he’s still here at this point.
Lee.
LT.
Trying to keep that Hargrave connection alive.
Not that I want anyone to lose their job, but I wouldn’t be opposed to swapping Lee for a new assistant who’s tapped into the JUCO ranks. Between Sears leaving us; Wiz and IJ, I’m personally over the Hargrave connection. Lamar is our top assistant and I don’t think we need to double down on Hargrave at this point. We should be trying to open up new channels to acquire talent.
I wrote this and deleted it. Not sure the Hargrave connection has as much draw since the portal has taken over the landscape. Would happily shake it up. Though I think Lee is a great coach. Lamar is my leader in the clubhouse to take over for Boals should *life* happen.
We really need to go hard at the JUCO ranks. Gotta get creative. Gives me heartburn whenever I see someone like Hill at BG playing at such a high level.
Agreed on Lamar. I also think Lee seems like a great coach and the same can be said for Barlow. Perhaps though, part of our problem is there's too much overlap in backgrounds/experience between all three. Lamar and Lee are both Hargrave, while Barlow and Lamar both spent time at Toledo.
We might just have too many of the same "type" of assistants on our staff who are looking in the same channels for similar recruits. They've had their moments, but we need to diversify our recruiting and are clearly neglecting areas that can help. Someone else might need to be brought in to change that.
Same on the JUCO. I follow the recruiting sites on Twitter. It seems like every program in the country but us is offering players at that level.
