New assist.

I think all but BW turned JL down when he arrived at BU!

Success can sometimes change minds, who knows.

I though agree that a chicago tied coach would be great, Coach Corn out in Yuba would be very good addition.

Thats not even a good joke!

I think BU has done fine without living off the chicago kids....and done very well with the burbs!

Mike I'm not following you...

[newBUfan]

bu has to recruit chicago hard, and the entire state for that mater, however bu can live without chicago, just try not to live without chicago imho

What does a job like this pay?

[Big Mike]

dog..........when JL got to BU he asked many former players to be assts......including DR and RM....and they both declined! He even asked the Hawk if memory serves.......but I do not recall him asking Billy Wright?

We need to have a presence in Chicago. When BU has been good, it has had a Chicago presence. Look no further than the Versace days (JJ, Jim, Hawk among others), and the Sweet 16 team (the heart and soul Tony Bennett). Maniscalco is a Chicago kid, and Jim is continuing to recruit the area hard. It doesn't have to be our base, but we do need a presence there.

Chicago is very important as if you can land the right players it will get you in on others and the publicity you can get from the news is huge ; I am not saying you need mostly chicago area players but a few could really boost the program .

[IheartBU]

Heck.......isn't Danny Adams looking for a job?

Marketing, recruiting ... same diff, right?

A Coach out of Chicago would be great just as long as he is a good coach.

What about Weber's brother? Isn't he out of chicago? I think he'd be warmly welcomed here at BU.

I would take a coach who is a good recruiter first and coach/teacher second

I think our recruiting is strong... I'm worried about who's going to coach our post players, since that was LF's role on the staff I think.

Al Biancolana comes to mind
