Now I'm not one to dwell on coaching decisions and us being a stepping stone but I wanted to make a comment that I've been thinking about for a long time. As a cleveland native and a true sports fan, Gary Waters may be the best recruiter and coach I've seen in mid major conferences in a while. I know Shaka smart leads the list but you have to give Waters credit. His best player Bryn Forbes is at michigan state playing big minutes this year and they are in the horizon semis. I think Gary Waters would make OU a Gonzaga/Wichita type. He loves our city and gets the best athletes. I'm in no means saying fire Saul but I just have the biggest respect for Gary and what he has done in Cleveland. Now that cleveland state is getting out of the commuter school and there stons of bars and dorms going up, this is going to be great with Gary.

You must be kidding about this one. The guy is a THUG of the first degree.

Saul will get it done with his kids

This post is so weird. He has only taken Cleveland State to the tournament one time (2009). He really hasn't done anything noteworthy since he left Kent State 15 years ago. What makes him such a good recruiter again?

Never heard Waters called a thug anywhere else, nor seen any evidence of it. Seems like a straight-up guy. He's doing OK in a terrible coaching job.

And make no mistake-the Kent State team that reached the Elite 8 was Waters' team; those players were recruited by Waters. Stan Heath parlayed those players and play-off run into a job at Arkansas, where he was less than successful. Waters can coach.
