"Honestly we haven't been on Auburn or Bama's level since we had Stansbury.. Stans kept us relevant and had us in the tourney most years, we just never advanced far."
If you had said we haven't been on Auburn's level since Bruce Pearls arrival, you'd have been more correct, but even then we were at their level his first 2-3 years. So what changed? Because he's an ACTUAL elite/great recruiter & took them to the next level recently.
Auburn was down during our Rick Ray years. Auburn took the next step because of an ACTUAL GREAT recruiter/coach.
20 win seasons since Stansbury:
Auburn 4
MSU 3
Bama 3
Yea we definitely haven't been on Bama or Auburn's level 🤦 Good thing you know basketball tho.
& my point stands. Jans will recruit as well as Howland did here. And Jans is likely the better coach.
I honestly don't even know what point your trying to make at this point. What you just posted tells me nothing. 20 win seasons? That means absolutely nothing in today's game. There was a time where a 20 win season meant you were almost guaranteed a tourney spot, now it means nothing.. Quad wins determine your spot in the tournament.
Posting about 20 win season definitely didn't help whatever point you're trying to make.
Ummm because they have great/elite recruiters as coaches. Everything they've done since Stans has been since we hired Howland. Auburn more than Bama. You are literally making my point that Howland was in fact NOT a great/elite recruiter. Jans will recruit just as well as Howland has here.
Also, we can hate on Jans as a recruiter but 5 years ago Mosley would have been a bulldog. It isn’t Jans fault that we couldn’t outbid Mizzou.
I personally hope Jans does great for us and I'm not hating on him as a recruiter, I'm only voicing my concerns about it. I know he will be a really good coach I just worry about the recruiting, he hasn't had to recruit at an SEC level before and his 1st class here is filled with mid major portal guys...
I do think with what we have coming back along with the guys he added we will be good this year, because he can coach.. but going forward I'm concerned about it. And your right the NIL is another hurdle to overcome but he will have to adjust just like every other coach will.
Man some of you guys sure loved a washed up has been that could recruit decently on paper but do much of nothing when they got here. I'm ready to see what the new blood can do.
At the end of the day, the Ws and Ls and tourney appearances are all that matters. I’m hopeful Jans can increase both the Ws and tourneys.
As frustrating as Howland was, he put us in a decent position to make the next step. Howland was a good hire to clean up after post Stans and Rick Ray, but there is no doubt it was time to move on. He ran a clean program for the most part except for baby spoon getting involved in JoMos tutorgate which I put the blame on Moorhead there a lot more than Howland Now we have a solid floor coach which we have lacked since Williams. I?m confident Jans can take the next step and make us a tournament team most years.
