Re: Crawfish - RANK the coaches (the Crawfish list)

I understand that Mullin is still a pretty unknown brand as a coach and I understand that he hasn't proven much of anything yet (give him time). With that being said, to say that he has been a "spotty" recruiter and that Ewing has recruited better is just wrong. If you're going by the rankings for recruiting classes, just remember they don't include JUCO's, international players, or transfers...3 things we have relied on early in his tenure. SJ's recruiting has not been great, but it has been solid at worst. We got a 5 star transfer from Arizona, a veteran big man from Michigan State, Trimble who is a major size and athletic upgrade over Mussini (though we will miss his shooting), and he deserves credit for finding a diamond in the rough in Tariq Owens from Tennessee who went from no PT to a legitimate starter level player. He also deserves credit for Ponds and LoVett who will be among the very best scoring duos as guards in the country. Didn't Ewing get 1 guy?
