I'm out, maybe until spring practice starts if you guys don't make any more sense than the last couple days!
Remember, recruiting is all about the head coach. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. Conference? Doesn't matter. Climate? Doesn't matter. Facilities? Doesn't matter. Head Coach? Matters.

Conference and facilities matter very much so now a days.

A few years ago, I probably would have said the same thing, but HC IS all that matters. Urban Myers wins at BGSU, wins at Utah, wins at FL wins at OSU. Move him to worst facility with worst record in MVFC and within 3-5 years he would win the conference. From '99 on, YSU FB was almost -0- until winning HC arrives and boom, NC game. Did we improve facilities? nope, did we improve conference? nope, did we improve HC? yep. You'd like to think other things matter but it's the HC. Guy at EWU is doing great. He will get better job and they will plunge back to mediocracy. That's the way it is. Case after case.

LOL! I'm now convinced you say outrageous stuff to increase traffic and provoke discussion. Like this OVC thing, is so outlandish it's absolutely hilarious! ;D

Put YSU football in the OVC and we recruit the EXACT SAME kids. No better, maybe worse. That is the absolute truth and you know it. There is nothing you can say that would convince anyone with an ounce of football brains any different.
Akron is a semi credible program from the MAC, they experience minor success and suddenly they are great. You are "Youngstown blind". Forget what city they are from & look at the nothing resume. You would think that with 12-years of MAC experience he would have even been given a HC job; has he even been mentioned for one outside of a few posters on a YSU chat board? You guys crack me up. You think because you say something it has to be so. If they hail from Youngstown, let's just hire them.
Furthermore, do you think we even get a whiff of the back end of Bo Pelini's dinner digestion had he not screwed up and fell from grace? He is $500k to $750 a-year (plus endorsements) coach.
Riddle me this batman ...in the 8 years that Bob Huggins was the HC at Akron, his worst season was 26 wins. So how many times do you think they made the NCAA tournament? (clue it is a whole number higher than zero, but less than 2). So of course YSU admin has just no idea what they are doing. Seems to me they know quite a bit.

Your initial claim was, "The level of competition within the OVC is just as good as the MVFC." A look at Sagarin and Massey conference ratings, or post-season history will quickly put that little fake news gem to bed.
IDK why you bring up Huggins, who left Akron in the 80s. If anything it reinforces the point that Akron MBB can and has produced quality MBB HCs. Currently, with McFadden as the recruiting coordinator, Akron has been in either the dance or NIT four times since 2011. We'd be fortunate to have someone with that resume here.

Yes and I stand by my claim. the word of choice here is "within". I do not care what they do against anyone else from other conferences. Again I do not see McFadden as any improvement

Very interesting. 1) do you think he could win in the HL with his style ...looks like all offense.
goodnews:
Has a good track record. Those leagues are physical which is indicative of east coast basketball regardless of division. Recruits in talent rich areas which the current staff has never done?
YSUFANSINCE1990:
Go guins I agree with all you said! Just think Sean Miller interviewed here years ago, can't remember if it was when hired Peters or Robic, what could have been.
After interviewing, MIller pulled name out of consideration the next day.
