It goes higher than Lyons.

I don't buy the fact that Powell came here for nothing. He wasn't even a top 75 player in his class according to 247 sports. Did he come here for 100K a year, no but I'm sure we took care of him. I'll bet the real number was higher than 500 total kids in the entire landscape. I mean it's pretty obvious when you see the ink on their bodies from freshman to senior year. Or take a trip on Seton Hall's campus, not exactly loaded with funding, and seeing cars the players are driving. Well more than 75 across the entire landscape.

Again, those coaches didn't have the opportunity to go to places like Bunny's or down to Prudential in Newark and say let's work out a deal. You're still ignoring that fact. Now that you can do that of course more guys are going to get paid. It's the same game on a much bigger scale because you can go out build relationships you never could before. Gonzo was labeled a shark, but in today's game Seton Hall could do well with a shark who is relentless going around Northern NJ and hitting up the businesses.

Powell was a top 80 recruit out of high school and I wonder if he got paid his freshman year. I doubt it.

Senior year for his AA season? Sure. That’s well within the top 75 players I mentioned.

But I also specifically didn’t mention Powell above. You brought him into the conversation.

I was agreeing with you and questioning whether the problem goes higher (Lyons) and whether they should both be gone. Get people in place who want to do the job and demand that others do their job to the highest standards as well. Currently, it does not seem like anyone fitting this description works in the administration we are speaking about. We need a change!

2-4 people in a host of schools were covering maybe 75 total kids in the entire college landscape.

Just curious. What is your solution? Just give up?

I don't think that Felt is blameless here but to single him out as the problem is ridiculous. Thankfully they are finally trying to right the ship. That's a good thing.

How can you misjudge a market you have zero dollars to spend on?

How do you know he didn’t ask for it?

Just to be clear: when a SWAC coach can’t get a Kadary Richmond or lets a player transfer out to a school that can pay him it’s the coach’s fault?
