Nik - What are our chances on bringing in some big guys?
We may know something tonight. Ringo supposedly has a couple interviews coming on Scout with 2 brand new Boyle prospects.
fwiw, I think Ringo's going to be getting some great basketball scoop in the coming years. He want to high school at Greeley with Boyle and he went to Metro for college so he has those ins with Lappe. Scout could quickly become the premier hoops board among the premium sites.
Hurdle 1 cleared.
The first step is a good one. excellent. I hope he doesn't run too many guys off.

Does Tad have a specific area he likes to recruit at? I know Jeff liked the Chicago area.

McClain had all the contacts in Chicago -- it wasn't Bzzz. Bzzz didn't recruit very much.
I know absolutely nothing about Boyle. Supposedly he has recruited from all over the place though.

Hard to detect a pattern from his UNC roster, other than the obvious fact that he was relying more on in-state players there. A couple Texas kids, a couple Arizona kids, plus Minnesota, Indiana, Missouri and Tennessee.... :huh:
FWIW, a lot of his out of state kids at UNC were freshmen or sophs. Looks like he was starting to get their recruiting spread out across the country more...
Bzdicklick would be the proper spelling

I don't know about that. McClain certainly had his contacts in Chicago, but I know that Jeff had plenty of contacts as well. He was an assistant at Northwestern for a number of years.
Sure they do.
You can play fast and still play great defense and be a great rebounding team.
Just because a team holds opponents in the 60s doesn't mean they're a good defensive team, either.
What matters is efficiency.
How many points do you score per possession? How many points do you give up per defensive possession? How many extra possessions do you create with offensive rebounds? How few extra possessions do you give away by failing to get defensive rebounds?
The pace at which you play is completely outside of those efficiency questions. And "up tempo" is a lot more fun to play and to watch.
Buffnik knows him some basketball! You can't run the court and fast break unless you get rebounds and steals.
Nolan Richardson disagrees with you, so do the show time lakers.
Uptempo DOES require pretty good depth tho. Should be interesting to see if Boyle can get decent depth here.
What would you rather have, a team with a few superstars but limited depth, or a team that goes 10 deep in contributors and runs all game?

fifm...
For now, the biggest thing Boyle can do to develop depth is to get guys like Dufault, Hornbuckle, Harris-Tunks and a couple other guys who have shown some flashes of skills to contribute consistently. He's obviously not going to be bringing in a lot of new faces for next year - it's going to be all about his ability to "coach up" the kids he's got there...
I just have a feeling that he can do that, from what I've seen so far. We'll see.
